Stevens - The Institute of Business & Arts got its start in 1947 as the St. Louis affiliate of Patricia Stevens, a modeling and “finishing” school for young women. Patricia Stevens herself was a working fashion model, and there were many schools bearing her name around the country, but the one in St. Louis was operated by the Klute family.

In addition to modeling and comportment classes, young women could also take courses that would aid in them in the post-WWII work world - think secretarial skills.

One other major change to this once-all-girls college was the addition of men. The school now functions as a completely co-educational environment.

Over the years, Patricia Stevens’ catalog of offerings expanded to include not just shortterm certificate and diploma programs, but also Associates and Bachelor’s degrees.

Major changes came to the college in 2010. Previously, the school had never had a permanent campus. Although it’s always been located in downtown St. Louis, the location changed every 10 years into a new leased space. Alumni may recall our locations on Olive in the 80’s or at Union Station in the 90’s. In 2010, the school moved to its new, permanent location on Washington Avenue in the city’s

The school’s longest-running programs, which are still among its most popular, are the Retail Management/Fashion Merchandising and the Interior Design programs.

The building, originally built in 1917 for the Gerorge E. Keith shoe factory underwent a $3 million dollar renovation. At this time the school also changed its name to Stevens - The Institute of Business & Arts, or Siba, for short. The changes were made in part to reflect the modernization the college had been undergoing for years; from a modeling school for women to a co-educational college offering a full slate of Associates and Bachelor’s degrees.

Looking toward the next 70 years, Siba is sure to see more changes, because as we all know the only constant is change, and we welcome the challenge.

The last Patricia Stevens Modeling School, a fixture on the Country Club Plaza for more than three decades, moved out of its longtime office suite in 1995 and into far less upscale digs downtown. Today it’s pretty much a mobile affair. Stevens’ modeling camps this summer have squatted in hotel meeting rooms in midtown and at the Westin. “I’m still looking for a new studio,” she says. “You can’t believe all of the spaces I’ve looked at.” In the 1960s, the Patricia Stevens Agency had its own big discovery: Debbie Bryant, who was studying at the University of Kansas in 1966 when she was crowned Miss America in Atlantic City. Despite her still graceful carriage and the lifelong habits of fashion-model poise — that classic “Patricia Stevens stance,” shoulders erect, arms to the side, left foot facing forward, right foot tucked behind it, heel to heel — she shows the last decade’s strains. Now, seventy years after it began, Stevens The Institute of Business & Arts still honors a long tradition of service to the St. Louis region though its talented alumni, but today we also offer an alternative to students seeking a lessconventional approach to college. For us that means college leadership that’s nimble to the changing professional world and adjustments to curriculum to make students more marketable after graduation. It means honoring our long-standing commitment to small, nurturing classes. And it means cultivating an environment where students can feel free to be

In 2010, the school moved to its new, permanent location on Washington Avenue in the city’s revitalized garment district. The building, originally built in 1917 for the Gerorge E. Keith shoe factory underwent a $3 million dollar renovation. The 24,000+ square foot campus is located at 1521 Washington Avenue and situated in the heart of the St. Louis Loft district, within walking distance of attractions such as the City Museum, the main branch of the St. Louis Public Library, St. Louis University Law Library, and numerous parks, coffee shops, boutiques, and restaurants. The campus is accessible by public transportation, and there are a number of public parking lots close by. The interior of the building was designed specifically for Siba’s needs, and provides ample space for instruction, study, and social interaction. Siba is an independent, proprietary institution owned and operated by BGB Associates, LLC, a registered Missouri corporation. The sole shareholder is Cynthia Musterman. The College is organized and authorized to conduct its operation in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri. Staff and faculty information is available on the schools website. Siba works on a rolling admissions system, and all application materials submitted for admission must be on file no later than one week prior to final registration for the beginning of a term. The school runs on a quarterly basis and has enrollments in the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Established as Patricia Stevens College in 1947, we have long been recognized for our superior programs. Employers appreciate this standard of excellence and actively seek our graduates.

Stevens - The Institute of Business & Arts (Siba) is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year with an event that honors the college’s roots in the St. Louis region and celebrates its location in the heart of the city’s revitalized garment district. Thursday, August 24, starting at 5:30 p.m., Siba is hosting an open house which culminates into a fashion production on Washington Avenue. The show will feature eight amazing designers, with this beautiful city serving as the backdrop for their latest collections. To helm the production, Siba has partnered with an alumna of the school, Jacquelyne Craig.

A woman of many talents, Ms. Craig, is also co-owner and curator of the arts organization A.R.T.C., which hosts “The First Friday Art Walk.” According to Jacquelyne, her goal with A.R.T.C. is to create a platform where local artists and designers can gain exposure and experience.

From debut shows in St. Louis to major productions in the Big Apple, our Retail Management/Fashion Merchandising students have been taking their talents nation-wide. Last month, two students landed amazing opportunities with huge designers at New York Fashion week. We caught up with second-year student, Chinara Thomas, and recent graduate, Breonna Williams, to see what it’s like in the fashion fast lane. In many of the runways I’ve done in St. Louis, I’ve built the show from the ground up: coordinating designers, models, and hair & makeup, and even setting up lighting. The responsibilities at Fashion Week were pretty much the same but on a grander scale. Not saying any of the shows I’ve done here weren’t important, but New York Fashion Week is like the top of the top, crème de la crème. There was so much riding on everything being perfect, and so many more factors that played a vital role and really require you to bring your “A-game.” It was a toss-up between seeing the Gucci Ghost exhibit at Milk Studios and catching a pop up shop of Chicago’s own DBM brand and getting some merchandise.

The week of September 25th, 2017 we embarked on our first Workshop with the Pros held in Los Angeles, California. The plan was for students to create a project and present their ideas to professionals in Los Angeles, California. The students were given an assignment 3 weeks prior to meeting with the pros. The assignment was to create a group of 5 characters including atleast one protagonist. Each student was randomly selected to create their characters based on a design movement. Design eras selected were Art Deco, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Pop Art, Psychedelic, Punk and Arts & Crafts. Clothing, environment and props had to reflect the design era given. All of the students took the time during their fall break to work on the projects. They work tirelessly to develop and create something to impress the professionals. The presentation mentors were numerous professionals who have been/or are currently involved with projects in California that are/ have getting/gotten a lot of media attention. The evenings presentation began just minutes before the sunset on Marina Del Ray. It began on the top floor of a 80 foot italian yacht owned by a friend of Engel’s. The presentations all went smoothly. Sporadically filled with the mentors sharing hours of useful and essential knowledge in the world of creativity and visualization. Overall, the mentors were very impressed by the detail of their ideas and the styles in which they created them. They are looking forward to the next visit by the students.
