NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Moda Operandi, the first online luxury retailer to provide consumers access to full collections straight from the runway, is thrilled to announce the launch of a retail voting initiative in partnership with Rock the Vote, launching on-site from September 10.  Thirteen American-based brands created limited edition, non-partisan t-shirts for both women and men that support the national initiative to encourage American citizens to vote in the upcoming midterm elections in November.

Participating designers include: Alice + Olivia, Brandon Maxwell, Carolina Herrera, Edie Parker, La Ligne, Markarian, Milk Studios, Monse, Prabal Gurung, Rebecca de Ravenel, The Elder Statesman, Tory Burch, and Veronica Beard.

Lauren Santo Domingo, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer at Moda Operandi, says,  "It is incredibly important to ensure your voice is heard not only during the primary elections, but throughout the entire election cycle. With midterm elections around the corner, we felt the timing was just as relevant to launch a campaign focused on voter awareness. We are thrilled to partner with Rock the Vote on this initiative as we admire their tenacity to engage with younger voters to ensure their voice is heard. Voting is a privilege and right, and all American's have a duty to participate. We hope this program encourages just that amongst the fashion crowd and beyond."
