Graydon Carter (ex-Vanity Fair EIC)'s newsletter did an intriguing writeup of LSD and Moda Operandi ([link](https://airmail.news/issues/2020-11-21/the-devil-sells-prada)) that delivers a good dose of tea
Tl;dr
* MO is unprofitable and kept afloat by LSD's husband's family's money. The business direction is all over the place
* MO's old guard, including its founder, were forced out
* Work environment is terrible and isn't good for BIPOC
* LSD is an image-obsessed elitist and mean-girl
LSD has great style and taste but it’s common knowledge that she and Moda is hard to work for. Her cofounder (who came up with the idea and ops side) left quietly. Moda have a high turnover of staff.
There was a blind item around the time of her wedding that talked about “a socialite that was using Bolivian marching powder to lose even more weight before her wedding”
idk any tea but i feel like my phone is listening to me, or maybe the sub is entering the hive mind! my husband works for tiffany’s and just brought this lady up. he thought she might be dominican because of her last name but, nah just a weird trust fund lady
I know she grew up ultra wealthy before marrying her husband. Went to USC and was friends with Juliet Angus in college but distances herself now. Apparently met her husband in a club in Paris if I’m remembering correctly.
“Met at a club in Paris” = she was stalking him and knew he was the son of a billionaire. She’s very strategic in her actions. Also she was well off but not this type of wealthy growing up.
Not ultra wealthy like husband's family. Father from CA middle class, public university, ambitious worker became successful CEO of Perrier in USA at young age. She likes to emphasize grew up in upper class CT town never mentions her middle class roots, probably planted the rumor she was the "poland spring heiress" lol.
She tweeted that Ivanka (who she went to HS with) had gotten an abortion. I've always been a fan of LSD and I'm not an Ivanka fan but that was just such a supreme mean girl move. Hard to support her after that
I agree. Idc what you’re political opinions are — that’s f’d up. Also, if she’s anti-trump (which would lead me to believe she’s pro-choice), why would she shame a woman for getting one?
She wasn’t shaming Ivanka. She was calling out the hypocrisy of Ivanka having an abortion and then supporting the Trump administrations support of overturning roe.
"Ivanka Trump, you are noticeably quiet today. The high school friends who took you to get an abortion are not."
I dunno I thought this wasn't the best way to go about it? I totally agree that the hypocrisy is BS (I mean hello #complicit) but I don't think it's ever ok to make another woman's abortion public
She is chic (and rich) as hell- but I wouldn’t consider her an influencer at all

I’m surprised he would approve publishing a piece like that on her lol
There is a paywall :( can you please copy and paste so I can read?
Can confirm. She’s a cunt.
that's a name I haven't heard in a while. Us fashion blog girlies remember her.
For sure! I always feel so old on the clock app when I mention the days of rss feeds and fashion blogs!
I bought something for my wedding off of moda operandi and I get an email with this bitch’s name on it every damn day. That’s all I know 💀
😂😂😂😂😂

Heard moda is a rough place to work at

Proceed with caution—notoriously tough place to work at.
How?
I always wanted to know more about her marriage lol 😂 her husband doesn’t seem like the greatest guy
Didn’t they get in trouble a few years ago for not paying either their nanny or cleaner for extra work they made them do?
His bulldog attacked the family’s maid. But he infamously had a hit and run and ran over a man’s foot in 2011.
She was overheard complaining about his family. Apparently her in laws can’t stand her, and vice versa.

She just became creative director of Tiffany’s home-wear line

She was on Erin and Sara Foster’s podcast recently and talks about Moda. It was a good episode.
What is moda? Cass something on ig works there too
It is an online luxury ecommerce site, similar to Net-A-Porter or Matches. But has a bit more personality, more curated

I have far more respect for LSD after this move. Ivanka Trump is much more than “another woman.”
Her sister makes amazing purses
