Episode 48
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Reno-based designer Meranda Crosby, founder of Herstory Bridal and Design and The Shoppe at Hillcrest, to talk about redesigning heirloom wedding dresses, sustainability, and building creative community right here in Northern Nevada. Meranda shares how her lifelong love of fashion—from designing clothes for her Barbies to studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) and working in Disneyland’s costuming department—ultimately led her back home to Reno. Through Herstory Bridal and Design, she redesigns wedding gowns passed down through generations, honoring family history while creating modern, one-of-a-kind pieces that reduce textile waste. We also explore The Shoppe at Hillcrest, Meranda’s community-centered space supporting local artists, makers, and creatives, and how her work weaves together storytelling, sustainability, and a deep commitment to place. About the Guest Meranda Crosby is the founder of Herstory Bridal and Design and The Shoppe at Hillcrest in Reno, Nevada. With a background in fashion design and costuming, Meranda specializes in redesigning heirloom wedding gowns into custom bridal pieces that honor history, sustainability, and personal storytelling.
