"   Michael Compte&amp;#039;s 1992 portrait of Cindy Crawford, Moda Operandi  Moda Operandi isn&amp;#039;t quite content with blazing an online fashion trail\u2014following the site&amp;#039;s recent high-profile hires, they launched a partnership with Artnet yesterday, selling fashion photography and selected contemporary works to their invite-only, well-funded clients. &amp;quot;The fashion and art worlds are so often intertwined, it&amp;#039;s a natural category to offer to our customer,&amp;quot; explained Aslaug Magnsudottir, MO&amp;#039;s co-founder and CEO. While this is the site&amp;#039;s first stab at art-dealing, they certainly didn&amp;#039;t take the task lightly. Their initial offerings include printed works by Damien Hirst and Ed Ruscha as well as photographic pieces by Arthur Elgort and Chuck Close, each ranging in price from $2,880 to $18,600. &amp;quot;Everyone knows these iconic images, but they are often hard to track down,&amp;quot; Magnsudottir said. &amp;quot;Like an amazing finale gown, we want to give our customer the chance to purchase anything she sees and loves.&amp;quot; The Artnet partnership represent&amp;#039;s Moda Operandi&amp;#039;s initial foray into the lifestyle market, and it&amp;#039;s a concept they plan to expand on in the months to come. &amp;quot;Our customer knows what she likes and what she wants and that certainly includes art and lifestyle products... [we&amp;#039;ll] continue to do trunk shows that make sense for [her].&amp;quot; Moda Operandi&amp;#039;s Artnet partnership will run through December 19, with pieces guaranteed to ship by Christmas.
