This Saturday, November 16th, I will be on the LA Campus for a very special appearance at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM Los Angeles Fall 2013 Open House! Open House is an event designed to help prospective students get to know the College, meet Alumni, instructors, facilities and get a sense of the College as a whole and all that it has to offer. As you already may know, I am an alum of FIDM as well as the College's Official Spokesperson.





This upcoming Saturday, I am so excited to host and make a special appearance at the “Career Stardom” panel, as part of the FIDM Open House 2013. The panel will include former FIDM Alumni that will share success stories and advice from their educational and career experiences.

This past weekend, I drove down to San Diego--along with my partner David Paul--to make a special appearance at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM San Diego campus for their Open House. The FIDM Open House is a way for anyone interested in possibly attending FIDM to check out the campus, facilities, classrooms, all the different majors, meet instructors, alumni...It's also away to Meet Me!







As the Official Spokesperson for FIDM, an FIDM instructor and grad, it's always my pleasure to make appearances at some of the campus events to share my story and "How I Got To Where I Am" and how FIDM helped me, of course. I always love going to the FIDM San Diego campus and particularly, San Diego. The campus is conveniently located in Downtown San Diego in the very hip Gaslamp District and VERY adjacent to...







I also like San Diego in that it's like L.A., but with a little bit of natural air conditioning; the weather is always PERFECT. A bonus is that my NIKOLAKI/NV Nick Verreos partner David Paul's family lives there and that's where he grew up so he always finds a chance to visit his mommie :)







When David and I arrived--the night before my appearance at the FIDM San Diego Open House--we had the chance to have a delicious dinner with his mom, Conchita, at Ortega's A Mexican Bistro Restaurant (the Chicken Mole was yummy!) in the Hillcrest neighborhood. The following day was Open House:


















Nick Verreos and 2013 FIDM Valedictorian Angelica Villegas--I had the pleasure of doing a special "pair discussion" with the 2013 FIDM Valedictorian Angelica Villegas, who happens to be from the San Diego area. She was AMAZING; so inspirational and intelligent. Angelica had such great insight in what it takes to be a succesful FIDM student and grad. After our talk, it was time for taking pics and sign some bags. Here are some photos of that:
















Until Next Time FIDM San Diego!! XOXO

I'm so excited about the latest "Nick Videos" that are up on the Look TV You Tube Channel! In case you didn't know, I've been filming some fun videos on Look TV--YouTube's Source for Fashion, Beauty and well, everything that's Fab.




I am so proud of my "Design School With Nick Verreos" (my Fast-Pass to Fashion Schoolin') and "Nick Fix" and "Nick Trick's" videos--shot at my Alma Mater the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM and the wonderful FIDM Scholarship Store, located on campus in Downtown L.A.









So let's get to the latest videos--First up, I met up with Mimi Holaday--an FIDM grad, who needed to come up with a great, original outfit for her Birthday bash. I brought Mimi to the FIDM Scholarship Store, got some garments, accessories (at great prices!) and then we went back to the FIDM "Nick Studio" and did some "Nick Fix-ing":
