MADALYN MANZECK

Madalyn Manzeck has been making her own clothes since she started taking sewing lessons at age 16. “My instructor told me that it was something I could do full-time, if I really wanted to make it work.” And make it work she did. After graduating with honors from UW-Madison she interned with New York City icons Paul Andrew and Donna Karan and worked as a stylist for Michael Kors. Now she designs bespoke lingerie and curve-skimming formalwear under the moniker Madalyn Joy.
