Bio
Mirabelle Tolentino
I have only had a opportunity to work with Edgar for a quick year. And when I say quick, I mean everything moved at a fast pace. But during this time, I got to observe his career growth from an assistant role into managing his own product as an associate designer. Edgar has an amazing eye for customer pleasing details and color stories. His passion for the men's fashion truly shows in the designs he creates. Edgar also has a hidden talent for creating iconic yard dye plaids and stripes, as well as trend right graphics. He has creative ideas and it is always fun to brainstorm with him on artwork inspiration. Besides being an talented designer, Edgar has an amazing attitude that always uplifts those around him. He has a wonderful ability to listen and react positively during challenging situations. Thus allowing him to be a leader in many situations. I foresee a bright future for Edgar in any role he takes. Best Regards, Mirabelle Tolentino

Edgar is one of my all-time favorite colleagues. Not only is he a great designer, he's a truly wonderful guy. He's super teachable, very talented, and endlessly curious. He's personable and diplomatic, motivated and hard-working, and always ready with a word of encouragement for his coworkers. He has great vision but understands the big picture, too. I miss working with him and would be ever-grateful if we could work together again!
