Linda Schlesinger-Wagner, the founder of Skinny Tees, overcame challenges and barriers to building a brand for women that continues to empower and inspire.

After 30+ years in the apparel industry, Michigan native Linda Schlesinger-Wagner was inspired to create a brand that filled a void in the women's apparel market. It started with a one-size-fits-most silhouette and has grown into a multi-million dollar brand featured on QVC and Macy's. Linda remains firmly rooted in her commitment to offering a product for all women - all sizes, all colors, and all ages.

But business growth isn't the whole story. Linda shares the decades of life lessons along the way with Melissa and Amy. She's survived many heartaches and trials that come with a full life, from pregnancy loss to the premature death of her father and mentor. She's dealt with family addiction, divorce, and finding her voice. Her story is inspiring, and she keeps on giving. In her 70s now, she says she better live forever because she has a lot more to offer!

Schlesinger-Wagner is also a longtime advocate for women's and children's charities, actively working with many nonprofits such as The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, Super Saturday, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation. She has served as a Co-Chair for Jewish Vocational Services: Women to Work Program and has been involved in the non-profit Pictures of Hope, where she received the Salvation Army Angel Award.  https://skinnytees.com/.
