History of Metacouture
Before becoming Metacouture™ The New Kind of News™
Metacouture evolved from a boutique couture fashion design company, to including fine art, then to becoming a record label to release music in 2008; all the while working in what used to be called PR to pay Stefan’s bills.
“Artists, designers, and musicians have to wear many hats to get their work to market. It was all happening so fast that it was years before I realized my best commercial offer, at the time, was the promotional skills I developed to show my work to a larger audience. It just made sense to me at the time that I needed an internal PR component to what I was doing to save money, keep control of my company, while constantly adapting to the evolution of business between 2000-2010.”
Originally founded by Stefan Daniel Bell to encompass his critically acclaimed futuristic couture and fashion designs, Metacouture quickly evolved to include his nationally acclaimed fine art career, and then his music in 2008.
As a result of determination and hard work, Stefan was part of the vanguard of what came to be called blogging. That is where Metacouture was born: first as a conversation about the future of fashion. “Originally, my goal was to have a platform to explain fashion designs that were so ahead of the market that I needed a way to explain what I was doing as the designs I was creating reached the mainstream, years after I had created them. I had to start releasing trade secrets, designs, and ideas so that that when the mainstream fashion market caught up, I had a way of publicly proving I had been there first. Patents can be violated and worked around. I needed public proof and a following to confirm they had seen it.”
Stefan found himself creating fashion first then later innovating new ways to promote and present designs publicly for wider market acclaim for his work- on a students’ budget.
“What happened by 2005 was that my fashion designs and art, though critically praised, were taking a back seat to my developing new ways to capitalize on emerging technologies, PR, and business practices utilizing what came to be known as social media. At the time, the majority of people were using websites like Yahoo, Google, and MySpace to date and live secret lives on the Internet. I was seen as fringe by both my audience and the business consultants that were coaching me through the process: people on the Internet saw me as weird for using my real name, and my business consultants were frustrated that I was promoting myself through websites (starting in 1999 with Yahoo, then Google, and then Web 2.0 sites like MySpace) that were seen as the new dating sites. I received a lot of attention online and the consistent question from all traditionally trained business people was, ‘It is very exciting that you are getting attention online, and, how are you going to make money from that?’
Celebrities, artists, designers, and entertainers with similar budget concerns and vision to see the breadth of his work approached Stefan to help them promote themselves and get their work shown to a wider audience.
“At the same time I was working freelance in what used to be called PR, I was working on my own work, still trying to get it out there. Somewhere along the line the amount of work I was releasing began to show up in many search engines on websites like Google, along with my work for my clients from freelance PR consulting. I wasn’t just promoting people, I was a competent art director getting creative credit as well as being the strategist and technician completing the PR work behind the scenes.”
