The Met Gala may be over, but the fashion world keeps right on churning. Here are the headlines – locally and nationally – that caught my eye: 

  • Fashionista, via Page Six, is reporting that the CEO of Moda Operandi, Aslaug Magnusdottir, might be out. This shake-up comes on the heels of last week’s Met Gala, which the company sponsored.
