Moda Operandi
Launch Date: February 2011
The Elevator Pitch: Once you've launched your (free) membership with the site, you gain access to shop the newest ready-to-wear collections, high-end accessories, and luxe beauty products. No doubt about it: this site is for the ultimate brand devotees.
Why It's Worth Bookmarking:  It's the most exclusive, runway-to-closet trunk show you can find. Did we mention it's operated by the style stars we already obsess, namely Lauren Santo Domingo, Áslaug Magnúsdóttir, Taylor Tomasi Hill, and most recently, Nina Garcia, to name a few.

Founders: Áslaug Magnúsdóttir and Lauren Santo Domingo
Your startup, in six words...
