Manus Operandi
Notes de l’épisode
Lauren’s guest is Irish-born, New York-based designer Maria McManus. They chat about her scrappy path through EDUN, Club Monaco, and three years working alongside Tory Burch before launching her own label right as the pandemic hit. They also discuss why she still swears by wholesale even as direct-to-consumer becomes non-negotiable, and the French lace, Lower East Side artisans, and Irish craft details behind her "no BS" collections.
