For the first time, Moda Operandi is debuting a trunk show to benefit the Fifteen Percent Pledge.
’s support of the Fifteen Percent Pledge could have a ripple effect beyond its customer base in more than 125 countries in terms of furthering awareness, since the e-commerce platform features 1,000-plus brands and designers in fashion, beauty, fine jewelry, accessories and home. As of now, 10 percent of Moda Operandi’s offerings are comprised of Black-owned brands or Black designers and the aim is to reach 15 percent by the end of this year.
In addition to her own Brothers Vellies label, James and Moda Operandi’s merchandising team selected Sukeina, Dur Doux, Sunni Sunni, Anonlychild, Harwell Godfrey, Head of State and Agbobly for the trunk show. The limited-run trunk show debuts for preorder Tuesday at 11 a.m. EST and runs through April 7. Five percent of all of the trunk show sales will be donated to the pledge. Items will retail from $400 to $17,000.
