Design My Style gives teen girls product power

Inspired by three daughters, years of amazing experiences and invaluable relationships, DAAP graduate Kristine Sturgeon has set out to break down the culture of average for teen girls.

Sturgeon’s startup, Define My Style, is a Web-based application that engages girls 13-19 years old in the design, sharing, advertising and purchasing of handbags. It allows young women to hone their creative skills while teaching them pertinent business lessons.

“Define My Style is a healthy rebellion against mainstream sameness for young girls,” Sturgeon says. “Young girls should be curious, confident and have a strong voice. We’re building a platform for this with DMS based around everything I want for my own daughters.”

CincyTech just announced it is leading a $690,000 seed-stage round in DMS with an investment of $250,000. DMS also received $100,000 from the Queen City Angels and $140,000 from Tech Coast Angels in Los Angeles. The remaining balance came from private individual investors. The company employs four people at its Mt. Auburn offices.

Born in Tipp City, Ohio, Sturgeon moved to Cincinnati to study architecture at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP). Sturgeon credits her education there for giving her both business and creative abilities and sensibilities.

Graduating in ’96 with a bachelor’s of architecture, Sturgeon has spent the better part of the last 15 years working in strategic marketing and communications out of Chicago. Her experience in creating customer value, mutually beneficial relationships and learning what consumers need and want has given her a great understanding of both the business process and consumer desires.

The idea for DMS came to Sturgeon in autumn 2007, when her oldest daughter was getting ready to head back to school. Unable to decide on a school bag that gave her the functions she needed and was a design she loved, Sturgeon’s daughter was at a standstill. She knew exactly what she wanted out of a product – as most consumers do – but brands sold commercially weren’t interested in listening to her desires. Sturgeon saw a business opportunity.

With a sketchbook and a PowerPoint, Sturgeon created the first DMS beta and tested it with 23 overachieving, involved, young girls. The test group included the daughters of powerful U.S. executives, two girls from China, two from London and one from Italy.

It was evident the beta was a success when Sturgeon began hearing stories of how her product had inspired the young girls to be confident in the identity and designs.

From that point forward, Sturgeon spent nights and weekends developing the web application, investing more than $320,000 of her own money into the company. Today, the DMS site has nearly reached 50,000 members and recently launched a new product line – laptop sleeves and cases.

DMS is one of the first companies to establish the trend of individual branding with consumers wanting increasingly more control of their purchases in everything from handbags and shoes to cars and homes, says Sturgeon.

“No one is allowing complete consumer design collaboration on the web, and especially not for teenage girls.”

Define My Style is the 29th investment for CincyTech, a Cincinnati-based seed-stage investor focused on information technology, Web-based consumer services and life sciences/biotech companies.

Festive warning as fakes worth £200k seized at airport

Fake goods worth around  £200,000 have been seized at Stansted Airport in the lead up to Christmas.

Festive shoppers are being warned to be careful about what they buy at Christmas by UK Border Agency officers following the seizures in recent months.

Nearly 1,800 pairs of fake Ugg boots have been detected at Stansted Airport – worth about £170,000 – since September, and in November, more than 200 pairs of bogus Dr Dre headphones, with a total value of £30,000, were seized.

Other forgeries found by agency staff included GHD hair straighteners, iPhones and designer clothing.

Phillip Holliday, UK Border Agency regional director covering Stansted, said: “Cheap counterfeits undercut honest traders and leave shoppers with goods that are at best inferior to genuine products and, at worst, harmful or unsafe.

“We are uncovering all sorts of fake goods, from beauty products to children’s toys, and we’re warning people to be particularly wary of buying cheap items online or from unofficial traders.

“It’s easy to be tricked into thinking you’re getting a bargain, but in the run-up to Christmas our message is that if something appears too good to be true, it probably is.”

After suspected counterfeit goods are detained by the agency, officers approach the rights holders to verify the products are fakes. The rights holder then decides whether to bring a private prosecution against the importer and after this, goods can be destroyed.

The Trading Standards Institute also said counterfeit goods may pose a potential health hazard.

Its chief executive, Ron Gainsford, said: “Trading standards are working hard with other authorities to stop criminals ruining consumers’ festive spirit as millions of low-quality and potentially dangerous counterfeit products are flooding the country in time for Christmas, particularly in markets, car boot sales and online.

“The external appearance and packaging of electrical goods such as chargers and hair straighteners may be copied fairly well, but the internal composition and materials are likely to be substandard and could make the item very dangerous.

“Toys, jewellery, alcohol and cigarettes might look the part but could turn out to be toxic.”

Holiday Fashion Trends and Bargains

With finals week approaching, 10 page papers, and endless reading students can’t be bothered to be taken away from school to start their holiday shopping. In the midst of the holiday season, malls put up big flashy signs with half-off prices, buy-one-get-one free deals, and other enticing items that make budget savvy students like us want to go in.

Although we are so busy in finals craziness, we do know that holidays are approaching and we need to find the perfect gifts for our friends, significant others, and family. Each season, new trends and new fashion finds come out, especially around the holiday season. Frequenting malls and department stores by Saint Rose, I found the best holiday deals and fashion finds.

Looking for the right gift around this time for the right price is hard to find, especially if you are watching your budget. This season, boots have been so big, especially for women. Ugg’s always come up as a must-have on the list. With Ugg prices starting at $100 and up, we can’t be bothered to spend the money. If you are planning on saving money, you can save so much by going to Target. Target has suede boots, and the famous moccasins starting at $20!

Although the word “UGG” isn’t written across the back, they still are good quality and you are saving a ton of money! The moccasins and boots are soft inside, and have a good tread on the bottom; they are comfy and have gotten reviews on their website. Another store that has great boots and shoes is Burlington Coat Factory, located in Crossgates Mall. They have great boots starting from suede, to high heel leather boots. I bought three pairs of boots from there for the price of one from any type of brand name store.

Another big item for girls around this season is scarves. When looking around for good scarf deals, I came several at department store JC Penney. They have all different patterns and colors starting at $10. The good thing about JC Penney is they have great deals and coupons all throughout the week.

Lastly for us girls, big earrings and fun jewelry were found at the new store in Colonie Center called Charming Charlie’s. They had walls sorted by color of great accessories for really cheap. It was a great place for all kinds of jewelry at the right price for students on a budget! All these stores above have great holiday gifts not only for girls, but for men as well. They all have a variety of items and great holiday finds.

Now for the men. Although Forever 21 targeted towards girls, I went into the store with a different outlook. I wasn’t looking for myself, but rather for men’s clothes. They had great hats, jackets, and nice shirts for really reasonable prices. They also had several great t-shirts and sweaters for the holidays.

When looking for sports attire, I went into Dicks Sporting Goods, and found sections of MLB and NFL shirts and accessories all on sale. There were clearance racks, and often there are coupons. They had great sneakers, hats, gloves, and everything that would be fitting for winter time at a great price. Department stores like Walmart, Target, JC Penney, also have great finds for a budget. They have a lot of variety and selection. When finding gifts, they all have watches, hats, gloves, cologne, shoes, or anything else a man would want.

With the holidays in full swing, we are constantly bombarded by deals. When you see a good fashion find at a good price, grab it. Although with finals we can’t get a second to ourselves, take the time and go look! You will find great trends for a great price if you take the time to hunt for it.
