Fashion Tech: Nick Verreos Hosts the Living In Digital Times 2016 FashionWare Fashion Show, 2016 CES Las Vegas

Last week, I had the honor of hosting for the second consecutive year, the Living In Digital Times FashionWare Show at the largest electronics and technology trade show in the world: CES. CES is held in Las Vegas (naturally) and it brings together industry professionals with both small and major, companies showcasing the "latest and greatest" in electronics, technology, fitness, automobiles, web...you name it, they are there!

Over 170,000 people attend CES and let me tell you, when I was there it seemed like a million! Picture 5th Avenue in Manhattan during Rush Hour; that's what it looked like inside the Sands Expo and Convention Center when I was there.

My 2016 CES Date: Nick Verreos with "Pepper" the Robot--2016 FashionWare Show CES Las Vegas

At this year's CES in Las Vegas, I hosted the fab FashionWare Show, which showcased the latest in Fashion-Meets-Tech; it's a high tech fashion show like no other. The fashion show combines both elements of Haute Couture with cutting-edge one-of-a-kind designs as well as utilitarian wearables that would be right at home in any sportswear store.

Here are some photo highlights from this year's 2016 FashionWare Show at CES Las Vegas:
