From a fairly anonymous and limited existence on social media, niche labels like Saks Potts, Veja, Naked Wardrobe, Doen, and Bevza have found a space in Vogue, courtesy organic celebrity endorsements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nepalese-American fashion designer Prabal Gurung shared his story about how his self-funded designer label went from an 18-follower-Twitter account to the seventh most searched brand of 2013.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe starting point for me was when Zoe Saldana wore a dress to the Star Trek premiere in Germany. Then it was Demi Moore, she announced on Twitter, \u2018Oh I am wearing this new designer to look out for.\u2019 All of a sudden, I went from 18 followers to 300 or 500 followers on Twitter and then it took off. Last year, four years into our business Google did this top-searched brands of 2013 list and ours was seventh! It has had a tremendous, tremendous impact in every way,\u201d Gurung <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/community\/voices\/discussions\/are-celebrity-labels-good-for-fashion\/emerging-designers-celebrity-sells\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shared<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Power of Stylists<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Gurung pointed out, niche and self-made brands get exposure, which is very hard to replicate and generate. Besides the obvious benefit of free publicity, it also opens doors for brands and designers to approach big retailers and seal a lucrative deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Celebrity reporter Jo Piazza <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamour.com\/story\/how-fashion-makes-money-off-ce\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">asserted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cYou have to think about a celebrity wearing a brand&#8217;s dress like &#8220;free&#8221; advertising for them. Every time that dress takes up a quarter page in a celebrity weekly magazine that is worth $25,000 in advertising. Every time they show up on a website that is worth between $5,000 and $20,000. Every time they are on an entertainment news show that is another $20,000.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Piazza, even if a designer\/brand had to giveaway a dress or accessory for free, the exposure brands get is still exponentially higher than the money spent. Therefore, nothing can beat the satisfaction of getting the same exposure without spending a single dollar, like in the case of Oroton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The question then arises, why famous names that can mint millions with just one Instagram post would choose to promote lesser known brands for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be it Gurung or Oroton, what\u2019s clear is that public figures are always on a lookout for new and interesting brands. More so now, when the number of public appearances has moved away from being just the red carpet events to airport looks and morning jogs. This presents an opportunity to experiment with fashion and create a distinct identity, which isn\u2019t restricted to the big brands that celebrities get paid to promote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Instagram-obsessed world, every move of a celebrity is documented. Case in point: When <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/kim-kardashian-nine-yeezy-outfits-kanye-west-2017-11\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kim Kardashian stepped out in 9 Yeezy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> outfits in one day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the premium clientele list of Gucci, Dior, and Versace is not slimming down, we can\u2019t deny the fact that there has been a no better time for small labels than now, provided they catch the attention of celebrity stylists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5800\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5800\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-19-at-4.30.45-PM-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-19-at-4.30.45-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-19-at-4.30.45-PM-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-19-at-4.30.45-PM.png 895w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take, for instance, New York-based cult brand Area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This niche designer label founded by Parsons School of Design graduates, Piotrek Panszczyk and Beckett Fogg <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/articles\/intelligence\/move-over-fashion-nova-how-a-niche-designer-brand-won-coachella\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">created waves at Coachella 2019.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> American singer Katy Perry chose to wear an Area ensemble for her performance at the music festival. This resulted in $421,778 earned media value (EMV), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/articles\/intelligence\/move-over-fashion-nova-how-a-niche-designer-brand-won-coachella\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">as per InfluencerDB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The singer\u2019s team not only reached out to the brand directly, but Perry also tagged Area on her Instagram <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BwSlyLMnkSf\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> which was seen by her 85+ million followers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Area that has seen incredible organic growth believes that they never felt the need to succumb to the pressure of sponsored posts and influencer marketing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fogg <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/articles\/intelligence\/move-over-fashion-nova-how-a-niche-designer-brand-won-coachella\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">revealed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cWe\u2019re not pressured to pay someone to wear something. They want to wear it because they genuinely love the brand and the product. It\u2019s an honest relationship. And I also think that people respond to it because you can tell it\u2019s honest, it\u2019s not being forced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fogg made a valid point. Perry\u2019s stylist loved Area\u2019s design aesthetics so they narrowed it down for Coachella. Most of the niche brands that Markle steps out wearing are personal favourites of her friend, stylist, and fashion advisor <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jessica Mulroney<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was Mulroney who is responsible for putting a spotlight on Canadian designers and brands by including those pieces in Markle\u2019s public appearances. LA-based jewellery brand Mini Mini Jewels is one such brand that experienced first-hand what it means to impress a public figure\u2019s stylist and the power they hold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After Markle was clicked wearing a Mini Mini pendant at the US Open Final in September 2019, the company\u2019s founder Tracey Kahn <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/royals\/meghan-markle-initial-necklace-designer-us-open-finals-look\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cJessica is a huge fan of ours and it was through her that Meghan heard about us. We sent her a few of our initial pieces because we thought she might like them and then of all of sudden we saw them on her and we couldn\u2019t believe it!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>To Hold Fleeting Attention<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stylists who also act as fashion advisors are entrusted with the responsibility to constantly reinvent a star\u2019s fashion game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Mulroney has managed to dress Markle in affordable fashion and revive niche labels to increase her connect with the masses, Perry\u2019s team of stylists managed to capture the attention of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/trends-and-analysis\/generational-impact-on-retail\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">millennials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who care for rare cult brands <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anothermag.com\/fashion-beauty\/8914\/area-nyc-the-brand-turning-trash-into-treasure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">like Area that are resourceful<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
