Muehleder, originally spelled as Mühleder, is the Austrian surname of the designer. Upon the union of Larissa's Nigerian mother and her Austrian father, his surname was passed down to her. Larissa's mother belongs to a family of 16 siblings; in contrast, Larissa and her father are both only children. Recognizing the likelihood of her future husband's surname replacing her own, Larissa chose to christen her brand as Muehleder, a tribute to her father for always supporting her wildest dreams.
