Karen and Clinton Allen are a husband-and-wife team, and the founders of DStripped Magazine.

Karen explains that the DStripped name came from finding artist of all types, musicians, interior designers, and fashions designers, and just people that should be revealed. They wanted these inventive artists to be transparent, and to strip away their exterior allowing readers to see what they were about. DStripped began as an online magazine.  They recently launched their first issue, the fall/winter issue that is now available in 218 Barnes & Noble stores.
