About Moda Operandi
Moda Operandi empowers people - both consumers and designers - through fashion discovery. In fashion, the majority of pieces in a designer's collection are never carried by retailers, however, those pieces often represent a designer's best work, and are highly coveted by consumers. Moda's innovative retail model solves that problem, allowing consumers to shop from complete collections, and giving designers a platform to sell their best work. Co-founded in 2010 by Lauren Santo Domingo, Moda's platform now carries more than 1,000 brands and designers, ships to 125 countries, and has raised nearly $300M in funding from top-tier global investors.
