==Plot==
Fifteen-year-old True Jackson is selling sandwiches with her friend Ryan in the fashion district in New York City. When she is complimented by fashion designer Max Madigan, Max realizes the clothes True is wearing are his designs, but True had altered them to suit her own purposes. Max likes the altered design, and hires True to be the vice president of his fashion house's youth apparel division.
True hires her best (but extremely unfocused) friend Lulu to be her assistant. With Lulu's and Ryan's help, True works to be the best she can be despite various obstacles such as co-worker Amanda, who is less than enthusiastic to be working with a child.
The series ends with the hourlong episode "Mystery in Peru". Amanda turned into an unmarried child by the Fountain of Youth, Mr. Madigan retiring as President of MadStyle to be a stay at home dad, True being promoted to President, and a spike in teenage hires at MadStyle.

Ryan Laserbeam 	Matt Shively 	Ryan is another best friend of True. Though he does not have an official job at MadStyle, he always is there to hang out with True and Lulu. Until, he gets a job to work as their website designer (a person who designs and updates the MadStyle web site). He plays hockey. He later on gets the job of designing MadStyle's website, but he never really "works" on it. He is also known to be nice, but very clumbsy person.
Amanda Cantwell 	Danielle Bisutti	Amanda is the Vice President of woman's fashion. She's a frenemy of True and her friends. They are friends in real life, but enemies during fashion designs and competitions, usually trying to get True in trouble but rarely succeeding. She is also born to be sarcastic.

He has a nephew that shows a lot of similarities to Kopelman, and he is friends with True, Lulu, and Ryan.
