DMS members express their creativity through their creations. The collection of fabrics in YSC's core colors provide designers with a vibrant palette while drawing attention to the very recognized "awareness" pink. The original tote, messenger, shopping, overnight and mini bags are custom produced in the USA. Teens can enter this week's design contest to help raise awareness for YSC.

"We are pleased to partner with Define My Style, offering young women a way to express themselves while raising awareness that young women can and do get breast cancer," said Jenna Glazer, Director of Development for YSC.
