September 20, 2017 0 Comments






Red Carpet Style: Stylist Anya Sarre and Fashion Designer/FIDM Host & Spokesperson Nick Verreos--KTLA's "Countdown to the Emmys: Red Carpet Ready" TV Special, filmed at FIDM Museum






If you have been keeping up with my BLOG here--and all my "Who Wore What? 2017 Emmys Red Carpet" posts, I'm sure you already knew that this past Sunday were the 69th Annual Emmy Awards...












"Countdown to the Emmys: Red Carpet Ready" KTLA TV Special--Anya Sarre and Nick Verreos--at FIDM Museum's 11th Art of Outstanding Television Costume Design Exhibition,  Downtown Los Angeles



In advance of the 2017 Emmys, I had the pleasure (and LOTS OF FUN!) to be part of an Emmy's TV Special filmed at the fabulous FIDM Museum's 11th Annual Art of Outstanding Television Costume Design Exhibition on KTLA-5 TV called "Countdown to the Emmys: Red Carpet Ready". Along with host--and stylist/lifestyle expert--Anya Sarre, I was invited to provide special Emmys Costumes commentary plus show some of my latest NIKOLAKI gowns, discussing possible trends we might see on the 2017 Emmys Red Carpet.





As the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM and FIDM Museum Spokesperson, I was honored to educate the viewing public on some of the wonderful costumes we have in our latest exhibit and give some "Inside Dish" on the Emmy-nominated ones. Here is my Behind-the-Scenes BLOG RECAP with lots of photos of us filming as well as my beautiful NIKOLAKI gowns, modeled by three of my favorite models Amanda, Amber and Brianna from L.A. Models Runway...

It's 3 Days of FASHION!!--Nick Verreos onstage with model Amanda Fields Bennett wearing NIKOLAKI silk charmeuse and "feathered" taffeta gown--FIDM LA Main Campus "3 Days of Fashion" 2017



Time for the FINAL FIDM "3 Days of Fashion" for Summer 2017! In the past two weeks, I have had the pleasure of visiting the FIDM campuses throughout California for their annual "3 Days of Fashion" Summer Program--you can check out my BLOGS on those HERE for FIDM San Diego, HERE for FIDM OC in LA, and HERE for FIDM San Francisco. So now, it was time for my "Special Appearance" at the FIDM LA Main Campus "3 Days of Fashion"!






Onstage Nick: Nick Verreos--with "3 Days of Fashion" MC Andre Barnwell--FIDM LA Main Campus "3 Days of Fashion" 2017



Here are my photos from last week's FABULOUS and SUPER FUN FIDM "3 Days of fashion" 2017 including my "Special Appearance", a special Fashion Presentation of my NIKOLAKI gowns on models, plus a DAD CATWALK CONTEST (!) and a Meet & Greet after all the fun.

Let's start with that aforementioned "Dad Catwalk Contest":












The Dad Winners: Nick Verreos with the three finalists of the "Dad Catwalk Contest" atb FIDM LA Main campus "3 Days of Fashion" 2017. 



Right as I got onstage to begin my "Special Appearance", I asked all the dads in the audience to come up onstage and then I surprised them (or shocked them, depending on who you speak to!) when I told them that they were to walk the "runway" for the FIDM 3 Days of Fashion Dad Catwalk Contest.

They were all AMAZING and good sports about it (Thank Goodness no one got mad at me!), and in fact our top winning dad, really embraced the term "catwalk" when he literally got on the floor--on all fours--and began slithering like a cat--or Runway Panther! You can only imagine the reaction from the crowd--and especially his daughter! (she was snapping photos and filming video naturally!). I'm sure if you looked on Instagram long enough, you'll find the "blackmail" video :)--Now, let's get to the REAL models:

This past Sunday were the Miss USA 2017 Finals. The beauty pageant was held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Las Vegas. My NIKOLAKI design partner, David Paul and I were honored to have dressed the GORGEOUS Brook Lee in our gowns, for not just the Finals Live Telecast but the Preliminary Competition which happened last Thursday.

In 1997, 20 years ago, Brook won the Miss USA pageant (representing Hawaii), and then went on to win Miss Universe! She was invited this year--being that it was the 20th Anniversary of her double crowning!--to judge both the Preliminaries and Finals. Brook is a very good friend of ours--and through the years, she was become a NIKOLAKI muse, wearing lots of our designs at various red carpet events. We were so excited to have dressed her for her 20th Anniversary--and to judge Miss USA 2017--in two of our NIKOLAKI gowns....
