Lauren Santo Domingo

Co-Founder & Creative Director, Moda Operandi ; Contributing Editor, Vogue.  New York

We love going by someone’s initials as their main moniker, and LSD tops our list. As one of the world’s most recognized style authorities, Lauren Santo Domingo is the co-founder and creative director of Moda Operandi, the online retailer where you can “pre-order tomorrow’s fashion today” – snatching up the collections of Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, Isabel Marant and more before their collections hit stores (Spoiler alert! The uber chic, MO has now teamed up with Cov-fave, The Big V [Vogue] for all your instant shopping needs.) She single-handedly pioneered the “street style” blogosphere, and we became obsessed with the PS1 Bag after we saw Mrs. LSD’s plethora of Jack and Lazaro's bags adorning her arms. In fact, LSD’s style and wardrobe helped with the initial idea of The Coveteur – and we must give thanks where thanks are due. She served as the PR director for Paris-based furrier J.Mendel, where she assisted in launching the brands RTW collection, and also helmed the PR department of Carolina Herrera for the Puig Group as well. LSD has spent time at Vogue Magazine where she acted as the Associate Market Editor (she still helms the title of Contributing Editor) where she helps to bring emerging designers to the table while looking the absolute epitome of glam while doing so.

My favorite piece of artwork is this Aurel Schmidt drawing. Oh, I cant believe I ever thought those shoulder pads were OK.

Just add a pair of Manolo slingbacks, a Fendi baguette and unkepmt hair…and you’ve got a total '90s Carrie Bradshw moment. That or a joint. Whatever.

I like to think of this necklace as a place holder…

Necklace, Tom Binns

Neon should be considered a neutral color. It goes with everything. No, seriously.

I had completely forgotten about this necklace. It was from that collection forever ago. Note to self: polish and wear. Repeat.

These bags were the result of a charity project I organized to benefit Colombia. Proenza Schouler took a traditional, Colombian ‘mochilas’ and created an updated version for auction. The red/black was the original creation and the desginers ended up producing a collection inspired by the collaboration. We are doing the project again in Miami on the 19th of November. Expect original creations by Givenchy, Missoni and Proenza Schouler.

Shirt, Loewe; Bags, Proenza Schouler; Earring, House of Lavande

Needless to say I wear a lot of Proenza Schouler. And by a lot, I mean every day. They seem to know what I want to wear before I do.

All, Proenza Schouler

The artwork was a wedding gift from my brother, artist Bryce Davis. It's amazing how many people remember that Sandra Bullock wore this dress to some awards show, once, and remind me of that fact every time I wear it.
