December 08, 2017 0 Comments



Nick Verreos: On Rodeo Drive, as part of the #BOLDHolidays #OnlyOnRodeo Rodeo Drive and FIDM Event Featuring FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising Fashion Illustrators Sketching Rodeo Drive Shoppers--Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills





Several weeks back, I had the honor to be invited to take part in the #BOLDHolidays #OnlyOnRodeo Special Event Featuring FIDM Illustrators on Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills. As the Official Spokesperson of the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM as well as a Grad of the College, I am always excited to take part in special events such as this one.









We were invited to sketch shoppers on THE MOST GLAMOROUS FASHION DESTINATION in the U.S., if not the world: Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills! Besides myself, three other FIDM Fashion Illustrators were invited to sketch...right ON RODEO DRIVE during a beautiful evening.

I was so excited to sketch passerby's, shoppers, as well as sales executives and store managers from some of the most FAB shops on Rodeo Drive (Special Shout-Out to Salvatore Ferragamo and Valentino Rodeo Drive boutique sales execs for allowing me to sketch them!) and even THE Honorable Mayor of Beverly Hills, Lily Bosse! Here are photos from the night:

Nick Verreos--Getting ready for my "Get Sketched By Designer Nick Verreos" Event at  Bloomingdale's Sherman Oaks Fashion Square Glowhaus Beauty Boutique



This past weekend, I had the pleasure of doing a VERY SPECIAL event & appearance--sponsored by my Alma Mater, The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM and Bloomingdale's at Bloomingdale's Sherman Oaks Fashion Square.





The event/appearance was titled "Get Sketched By Designer Nick Verreos" and was being held in conjunction with the launch of the Glowhaus Beauty Boutique--a new "Beauty Boutique" targeting millennial shoppers, introducing them to 30 new brands and 800 total new products at VERY selected Bloomingdale's stores and online...

My event was so much fun: I was there to CUSTOM sketch "Fashion Impressions" (stylized fashion illustrations) of customers shopping at Bloomingdale's!

I brought along my trusty FIDM tote bag of sketching supplies--including sketch pads, markers, pens and pencils (never leave my NIKOLAKI design studio without them!)--to be all ready to Fashion Illustrate any fabulous customer that just happened to notice that I was there...just to draw them!

FIDM Menswear: Nick Verreos at FIDM--attending FIDM's Advanced Study Program in Menswear Class of 2017 Exhibition & Reception



This past week, I had the privilege of being invited to the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM's Advanced Study Program in Menswear Class of 2017 Exhibition and Reception. Naturally, I attended! I wanted to support these wonderfully talented graduates of my Alma Mater's Menswear Program. Now, speaking of the program, FIDM's Advanced Study in Menswear is THE ONLY DEDICATED PROGRAM IN THE U.S. that teaches Menswear Design and global operations with a focus on casual sportswear.

Every year, during Graduation time, an exhibition and reception takes place on the campus to honor, celebrate and also give out top awards to the FIDM Advanced Study in Menswear Program group of students. This year's students of this Advanced Study Program in Menswear designed garments that ranged from surf-inspired activewear, sustainable and recyclable sportswear to Cote D'Ivoire-inspired upscale design...



Here are photos from the event:

It was so much fun to attend this fabulous Exhibition and Reception honoring the FIDM Advanced Study in Menswear Class of 2017 Graduates! I may design womenswear but I still LOVE menswear and will always support our FIDM graduates--especially those  taking Menswear to a more directional and inspirational level! CONGRATULATIONS to this year's Graduates!
