![]() Myrda Monasterial Originally from Las V egas, Myrda received her AA in Fashion Merchandising from the College of Southern Nevada before graduating from FIDM. She also achieved a BA in History at UNLV. Eloisa Serrano Bay Area native, Eloisa achieved her BFA in Fashion Design from the Art Institute of California after receiving her AA in Fashion Design from FIDM. “M.E.” is Myrda Monasterial and Eloisa Serrano – co designers for the brand. The two met while designing for a San Francisco label. They quickly realized they both hated the annoying fashion dilemma of how to prepare for a busy day when work called for one outfit and networking events or happy hour called for something entirely different! While Myrda lives and works in the city, she often had to pack a bag everyday and haul it wherever she went. Eloisa, on the other hand, lives in a nearby suburb and works in the city so found that her car was quickly becoming her second closet. So they collaborated on an innovative design concept where one dress could be worn a few different ways, simply by flipping it, reversing it or removing a piece! They launched their collection for Spring 2009 and since have developed the concept to include removable layers that can also be worn separately. While Myrda considers herself a party girl and Eloisa drives a Harley, both believe that style and sophisticated design should be easy and comfortable to wear.
