Is anyone else here familiar with Moda
Operandi? It might be life changing. Founded by fashion mavens Lauren Santo
Domingo (of Vogue) and Áslaug
Magnúsdóttir (who's apparently done everything), Moda Operandi allows its members (normal
people like you and I) to basically have access to pre-order styles from the
latest runway shows. They have "trunk shows" daily on the site, if
you want to order an upcoming style you pay a deposit and the balance is due
when the items are ready to ship. The trunk shows range from uber-high end to
great ready-to-wear labels. One week I am shopping Spring DVF and Alexander Wang, the
next drooling over $5,000 Roger Vivier stilettos. (Only a $2,500 down payment!)

I am just obsessed with the concept. It's one part layaway (which I love and
think everyone should have) (just for me) and two parts that feeling of being
on the inside. Most of us just don't have that kind of access, and how very
thoughtful of two well-regarded insiders to share that with us. (In all
sincerity). I literally plan what I want to buy from the runways, and sit there
in anticipation of a collection that won't be out for months-and NOW I have an
outlet to indulge my compulsion! You have to request membership by going to the website, even if you're just window shopping it's worth seeing these pieces in detail. Sign up here, and try not to get carried away!
