FIDM.....FIDM San Francisco Open House: Nick Verreos Special Appearance & Lecture RECAP!

November 02, 2017 0 Comments



 Nick Verreos at FIDM San Francisco Open House



Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of flying to SAN FRANCISCO to make a "Special Appearance" and give my "How I Got To Where I Got" Lecture at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising FIDM San Francisco Campus. As an FIDM Grad and Spokesperson, it is always a joy to talk about my early love of sketching and fashion and how FIDM was the PERFECT PLACE for me to help me achieve my dreams in the fashion world!

Throughout the year, all four of the FIDM campuses--Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and San Francisco--hold their "Open Houses", a chance for high school (and post graduate) students (as well their parents) to check out the campuses, meet instructors, alumni, see student's work, and get to meet successful FIDM graduates--like myself!






Ready for FIDM San Francisco Open House!--My mom sent a "Care Package" recently (LOVE HER!) and in it was this fab bow tie, rosette lapel pin AND pocket hankie!



I was excited to be invited to the FIDM San Francisco campus to make a "Special Appearance"...Here is my Photo Recap of the fun day, including my Lecture, Meet & Greet and giving away a copy of my new book "The Pageant Coloring Book" to a lucky FIDM SF Open House attendee:

I brought a fun slideshow as part of my Lecture with tons of photos showing my NIKOLAKI gowns and designs as well as celebrities wearing my designs on the red carpet--FIDM San Francisco Open House

It was wonderful to be part of the Alumni Panel and hopefully we were helpful in giving some great advice to all the students and attendees of this weekend's FIDM Los Angeles Open House thinking of a possible career in Fashion Design, Apparel Industry, Product Development, Visual Communications, or any of the many more majors FIDM has to offer.
