Nick Verreos takes his bow--A Salute to Three Decades of FIDM Debut Graduates Fashion Show, Fashion Week El Paseo 2013 Palm Desert

Nick Verreos--arriving at Fashion Week El Paseo 2013 Palm Desert California, to set up his NIKOLAKI Collection for the "A Salute to Three Decades of FIDM Debut Graduates" Fashion Show

Last Monday--a week ago, precisely, I went to the gorgeous city of Palm Desert to show my latest NIKOLAKI Collection at Fashion Week El Paseo 2013...

NIKOLAKI by Nick Verreos/David Paul--The Backdrop at Fashion Week El Paseo 2013 Palm Desert California

I was invited by Palm Springs Life Magazine produced Fashion Week El Paseo and sponsored by my Alma Mater (and College I am a Spokesperson for) the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM to be one of the FIDM Debut Designer Graduates to take part in the "A Salute to Three Decades of FIDM Debut Graduates Fashion Show" and emcee the show as well as make a special appearance.

Even though I was making the "Nikolaki Bow" at Fashion Week El Paseo 2013, my NIKOLAKI design partner David Paul, naturally, came with me (I cannot do ANYTHING without him). Of course, he wanted to make sure our gowns/collection were going to fit just right, be steamed perfectly, and all the accessories he chose, would be properly styled with the right model. Not only is he the co-designer of NIKOLAKI, he's also the stylist, and well, brains behind the madness (of me!).

Welcome to Sunnylands Chic--Fashion Week El Paseo 2013 Palm Desert

The following day, before leaving Palm Desert, I went back to the Fashion Week El Paseo 2013 tent to check out the runway stage installation of the "Sunnylands Chic" gowns....

I created a NIKOLAKI gown inspired by Leonore Annenberg and the Sunnylands Estate (Click HERE for all the fabulousness of the unveiling). The creations--mine as well as other fashion designers--were being shown in an installation on the Fashion Week El Paseo 2013 runway stage in the tent the following day, and naturally, I had to go:
