found converts?

Dear teacher,
Mr. Beene was American fashion's most paradoxical designer: a technician who stood shoulder to shoulder with the great French couturiers; a modernist who consistently defied those technical conventions; a Southern gentleman who found converts among New York's high priestesses of art and society yet refused to kowtow to the industry's bible, Women's Wear Daily, with which he had a long feud.
Q : I think the meaning of the bold part is that he is popular with New York's high priestesses of art and society, isn't it?
All the best,
