Keaton Row has added a new twist to online shopping.
The website, created by Harvard Business School graduates Cheryl Han and Elenor Mak, pairs shoppers with fashion advisors from all over the country, based on a personal style Q&A given to each new member who signs onto the site. Think online dating but with a refreshed and personalized wardrobe, not a first date, as the goal.
"What we realized is that people want a back-to-basics, personal touch when shopping online," Han says.
The advisors called stylists receive commissions on items sold, making the experience a virtual take on the direct-marketing model employed by businesses such as cosmetics firms Avon and Mary Kay.
Han was working in e-commerce at L'Oreal and Mak in operations finance at Victoria's Secret when the longtime friends recognized that, although customers were empowered with numerous choices when shopping online, the experience was also becoming increasingly daunting.
Keaton Row, which they launched in January, aims to streamline the online shopping experience for busy, professional women by pairing them with stylists who can advise on how to keep their wardrobes on trend and up to date. Once a client and stylist are matched, the stylist curates a look book to show a selection of clothing and accessories chosen to suit the client's individual style. Clients pick the items they want to see in person, which are sent to them with no obligation to buy. Stylists and clients may continue to work together via online correspondence, based on the customer's ongoing styling needs.
Han compares the experience to "that relationship that already exists between women who have been receiving shopping and style advice from friends and family for years."
Anyone can apply to be a Keaton Row stylist. Candidates are screened by Keaton Row's style director, who selects stylists based on the individual's eye for fashion, tech savviness, active social media presence and ability to be a "fashion influencer" within her or his social circle. Currently the website has about 2,000 stylists.
"We're creating a sales force of outsourced stylists for the retailers we work with," which include Les Nouvelles and Shopbop, Mak says.
Keaton Row stylists can be compared to Avon ladies of a generation ago, leveraging their social circles and contacts to attract new business. But unlike the direct-selling force of 20 years ago, these stylists are utilizing social media and online correspondence to cultivate clients and make sales.

THE chief minister of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah, recently urged policemen to utilise social networking sites to reach out to the public during emergencies.
We have commonly seen that in developing societies the institution of the police lacks the initiative to make optimum use of technology and social media.
Extremist groups fight simultaneously at the physical level and on cyberspace. To execute their immediate agenda and launch attacks, the terrorists make use of physical space, sometimes for a few hours, or a few minutes.
However, in order to wage a psychological war they ensure their continuous presence on social networking sites. The proliferation and effects of such sites have generated a new debate on how to counter their presence and ensure surveillance of social networking sites.
Referring to the Rawalpindi incident on Muharram 10, the Punjab law minister condemned the negative use of social media. There is an impression that social media fanned the flames of hatred after the incident.
An example from India would be useful in this regard. In September, hate-inciting, fake YouTube videos and doctored photographs were used to cause widespread rioting in Muzaffarnagar, UP. Fifty people lost their lives.
To reinforce their influence, extremist groups increasingly rely on social media but our law enforcement and regulatory agencies still dont know how to tackle the challenge. Social media can be effectively used to bring the police and community on one page. In mega urban centres, apart from the physical presence of the law enforcers, people expect the online presence of the police.
Technology has introduced innovations but also added to the existing challenges facing law enforcement officers. At the other, end, extremists have easily moved from websites to more active social media.
Recently in Nairobi, militants attacking a shopping mall used social media to claim responsibility.
The Syrian Electronic Army, a group of computer hackers, has resurfaced with a different account after their previous one was suspended by Twitter. Misuse of social media for furthering its mission has resulted in a global debate on how to regulate unbridled social media sites.
