“Our capsule with Moda Operandi was inspired in part by its perennially stylish cofounder, Lauren Santo Domingo. After Lauren wore our long-line, faux-fur Kavela coat at New York Fashion Week [last February], it quickly became a bestseller for the fall 2023 season, and a favorite with taste makers all over the world. Its success served as the starting point of this collection…with an exclusive, hip-length edition of the Kavela coat leading a lineup of tactile winter staples,” said Maja Dixdotter, creative director of By Malene Birger.

Santo Domingo, chief brand officer of Moda Operandi, added, “There are some garments that have a certain magnetism, and By Malene Birger’s faux-fur coat from last year was one of them. I wore it on a snowy day at NYFW and our social team never received so many ‘How do I buy this?’ requests. We are thrilled to launch an exclusive capsule with the brand for this winter season, featuring a cropped version of that now Insta-famous jacket alongside chicly understated wardrobing heroes the Scandi brand is known for.”

In addition to the cropped version of the Kavela coat in plush faux fur with a high neck and gently flared fit, is the Beatrisse leather biker, a staple for several seasons, with a feminine collar, contrast stitching and zip-arm details, revisited in updated moss green. There is also the Derris shirt, an oversized style with By Malene Birger’s signature swirl symbol, and the Cymbaria pants, a comfortable high-waist, wide-leg style that can be dressed up or down, both in khaki.
