MEET OUR FOUNDER
Born and raised in Egypt, Mirna Nakhla our founder, has always expressed her love for art through her sensitive soul. She always found different ways to channel her creativity, whether it was to express her identity, her emotions or experience in life.
She started secretly writing poems at the age of 12, by the age of 15 she turned her poems into songs, started teaching herself how to play the piano. Music and poetry have
been one of the many mediums of self-expression that was by her side growing up. Started her career as a model, turned into a designer & creative director that allowed her to find her identity and grow into the artist she’s become today.
She merges her love for Cinema, Music, Art, Fashion along with The
Metaphysical and Mythological world to create & share her vision with the world, and allow her storyteller heart to blossom and speak up through songs and poetry.
The Egyptian Artist launched her luxury brand MIRNA NAKHLA as a form of artistic self expression and depiction of all the elements she identifies with.
After graduating from high school at the age of 17, she moved to Milan to pursue her fashion design studies at one of the most prestigious universities in the fashion industry.
Following her graduation from Istituto-Marangoni, she moved back to Egypt, and started working to fullfil her dreams of becoming an established Artist and
Fashion Designer.
While working on herself as an artist, she launched her Luxury Brand in May 2018, and expanded it by adding a wider range of products and garments under the name of ETERNA in 2022.
Her debut single “Flower Child” was released in May 2024 as her introduction to
the world to who she is without all the filters of society and all the shame
that has been cast upon her idealistic self. It is driven by her sense of not
belonging anywhere, and finding peace in being born to roam free on her own, to
dream and live unapologetically. Her music is for the dreamer with a
melancholic soul that has tried to preserve her softness from the edges of the
world.
As an artist, Mirna is the manifestation of the
Golden Age of Hollywood meshed with The Italian Dolce Vita, with the free
spirited and liberated flower children of Woodstock, carrying her Ancient
Egyptian Heritage and Arabian Roots, helping her bridge the gap between our
physical reality and metaphysical world bringing magic into our material world..
The message she carries is to be authentic and
true to oneself despite the environment born into. There’s no greater sin than for one to go against the
nature of their soul. Strength and courage are found in being unapologetic and
authentic to your calling and soul. Strength is found in the pursuit of one’s vision against all odds. It encourages women
to manifest their identity and express who they are unapologetically. The
ultimate goal in life is to live a loving life, to spread kindness and love.
