The featured designers:

Ermelinda Manos – From the age of nineteen Ermelinda Manos began styling the runway shows of Chanel, Teen Vogue, Giorgio Armani Prive for the Oscars, Nordstrom’s, Macy’s Passport, Vera Wang and Miss Universe in 2010. After gaining enough experience and knowledge with styling in the fashion industry, she decided to make her childhood dream of designing a reality by launching her women’s evening wear line, “Ermelinda Manos Designs,” during Los Angeles Fashion Week. Manos showcased her designs at the Golden Globes in 2012 and soon became one of the most anticipated designers during Los Angeles Fashion Week. She continues to grow her clothing line in her hometown of Las Vegas and takes an active role within her community to raise awareness for local non-profit organizations through various fashion events.

Coco Johnsen – Coco Johnsen attended F.I.D.M. design school in Los Angeles and her collections are designed in her downtown Los Angeles atelier, a made in the USA brand, utilizing only the finest of exotic fabrics, trims and materials. Johnsen debuted her signature line at Mercedes Benz Los Angeles Fashion Week, Spring/Summer ’08 Collections. She currently designs one collection per year and will appear on 24 Hour Catwalk for Life Time Television from the producers of Project Runway. Johnsen will open her first flag ship store in 2015 in Los Angeles, C.A. with collection pieces available at boutiques world-wide.

Wanda Merritt – Wanda Potter-Merritt is a native Nevadan. Since a young girl, Wanda had aspirations of becoming a fashion designer, she went on to own and operate a Tailoring and Custom Design Boutique, where she designed and created custom evening gowns. In 2009, Merritt threw caution to the wind and showcased her first small collection. In 2011 she founded Vegas Couture, LLC, a women’s wear brand. Vegas Couture is defined by its fusion of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Merritt’s strong foundation from her past, incredible insight and energy, assists her in providing elegant designs both in Interior and Fashion.
