This past weekend, I had the honor--as the Official Spokesperson of FIDM--of MC'ing the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM Fall 2015 Open House. The FIDM Open House is a way for anyone interested in attending FIDM to visit the college and meet instructors, alumni, check out the campus and generally, get to know the campus.

In addition to the Alumni Panel Discussion, I also hosted the Dad Catwalk Contest--I picked several dads from the audience (they had no idea what I was I picking them for), and then I told them about the Runway Contest. Needless to say, they were good sports...

NICK APPEARANCES.....FIDM DEBUT 2015--FIDM Los Angeles Open House: The Recap!

Nick Verreos--FIDM Los Angeles Spring 2015 Open House

Last week, as part of "FIDM DEBUT WEEK", I had the honor of MC'ing the FIDM DEBUT 2015 Spring Open House Panel Discussion at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM Downtown L.A. campus and its adjacent Hope Park. The FIDM Open House is a way for high school students interested in following a career in fashion, visual communications, interior design or any of the many, many majors offered by FIDM, to visit the campus, take tours, meet graduates as well as faculty/instructors.

Hundreds of students visit from not just California but from many other states including Arizona, Texas, Washington and Nevada. Oh and, yes, the parents come along with the students for these Open House tours. As part of my duties as the Official Spokesperson for FIDM, I received the honor of hosting the Alumni/Current Student Panel Discussion which culminated the FIDM Open House campus events.

But, before we could start the Panel Discussion, I have a new "tradition" of hosting a "Dad Runway Walk-Off" contest where I pick--at random--dads in the audience to do a "Runway Walk" and then, by audience applause and screaming (lots of screaming!), we pick our "Grand Winner". The prize: Bragging Rights that they were THE BEST FIDM OPEN HOUSE Dad Runway Divo...

After the fun of seeing six dads and one uncle WURK the "runway" much to the delight of their sons and/or daughters and nieces, it was time to get to the Panel Discussion:

Post-Open House Meet & Greet: Following the Open House panel Discussion, I had a fun time taking lots of photos for Instagram/Twitter/Facebook with many of the attendees...
