New York, April 16, 2013 – Moda Operandi will unveil an exclusive collection celebrating the 2013 Costume Institute exhibition, Punk: Chaos to Couture, it was announced today. The exhibition, on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 9 – August 14, focuses on high fashion’s appropriation of punk’s avant-garde aesthetic—a theme symbolic of Moda Operandi’s place at the intersection of time-honored luxury and digital innovation. The collection features over 100 items, including new pieces designed by twelve established and vanguard designers: Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Eddie Borgo, Ek Thongprasert, Givenchy, House of Waris, Moschino, Prabal Gurung, Preen, Rodarte, Thom Browne, and Vivienne Westwood. The collection will also include one-of-a-kind customized clothing, plus rare vintage fashion and art objects that pay homage to punk, ranging from $100 to $13,000, available at ModaOperandi.com beginning May 2nd.  Please visit the following link to access Moda Operandi’s MET landing page: http://modaoperandi.com/chaostocouture
