FIDM San Diego 3 Days of Fashion 2016--Nick Verreos Special Appearance

The annual FIDM "3 Days of Fashion" Summer Program began last week and as the Official Spokesperson for the college, I was honored to be a "Special Guest". The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM's "3 Days of Fashion" is an incredible summer program that occurs in all four FIDM campuses including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and San Francisco. During the three days of the program, high school students take draping, sketching and how-to-create-a-promotional campaign workshops, do trend research shopping, be inspired by FIDM graduates, experience the incredible resources and instructors the college has to offer and...

As a bonus, the FIDM "3 Days of Fashion" attendees get to be guests at my Special Appearance and enjoy a special runway presentation of my high-end designs! The first stop on the FIDM 3 Days of Fashion was the FIDM San Diego campus. I love visiting this campus for many reasons including the fact that

A) It's San Diego, one of the cities with the most perfect weather in the US, thank you very much;

B) The FIDM San Diego campus is fabulous, intimate and OMG-Have-You-seen-the-View!? And...

C) I also love visiting because my NIKOLAKI design partner-for-life David Paul is originally from there and so it's a chance for him to visit his family! (and for Uncles Nick and David to use David's niece Emilie as our "assistant"!).

 Tony Awards Celebration: Attending The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party, The Beverly Hilton Beverly Hills

Nick Verreos--On the red carpet at The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party, The Beverly Hilton Beverly Hills

This past Sunday, I had the honor of attending The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills along with my partner David Paul. Every year--for the last 20 years--The Actors Fund puts together a FABULOUS Black Tie Tony Awards Viewing Party. It has become the official West Coast viewing party for the Tony's. I have attended the event for many years and of course, this year I couldn't miss it!

The Actors Fund is a national human services organization that helps all professionals in the performing arts and entertainment, providing services for those who are in need, crisis or transition. My very good friend of over 30 years (Yikes!) Louie Anchondo is The Actors Fund's Director of Special Events and I love supporting him as well as the organization.



This year's party was wonderful--celebrating this year's Tony Awards as well as honoring three very special people including John Holly, actress Jomarie Ward and...
