Founded in 2010 by Lauren Santo Domingo and Áslaug Magnúsdóttir, Moda Operandi is a New York-based e-commerce retailer carrying more than 1,000 brands and designers across fashion, fine jewelry, home and beauty.[1]

Originally conceived as an online trunk show business, Moda Operandi's founding proposition was to offer customers the kind of privileges previously only available to magazine editors: access to designers' full collections[1] and ordering full looks straight from the runway. The business model attracted luxury shoppers worldwide. Through Trunkshows, which are live for a limited time, customers can secure items months in advance by placing a 50-percent deposit.[2] The site offers access to designer pieces that might not become available in traditional luxury retail stores[3] and provides valuable information to designers, who use sales data to inform which pieces they produce for each season's commercial collection.[4]

Soon after, the company launched in-season fashion, giving customers access to available-now products. The retailer is known for its unique mix of established, contemporary, and emerging designers[2] from around the world, as well as exclusive pieces, collaborations and capsule collections[3]. Homeware launched in 2018 (followed by an in-house line, Moda Domus, in 2020)[4]. They started carrying a curated selection of beauty products in 2022[5].

Santo Domingo's point of view is central to the brand. "Lauren's Closet",[5] a selection of pieces with her seal of approval, is the site's most visited and highest-revenue-driving edit page. [6]

In January 2021, former Neiman Marcus executive Jim Gold was named interim CEO and was officially appointed to the position in May 2021.[7]
