LA Fashion Fun: Nick Verreos Special Guest Appearance at FIDM Los Angeles 2015 "3 Days of Fashion"
As you might know from reading my blog this past week, it's FIDM "3 Days of Fashion" Summer Program time and I have been visiting all the campuses as a Special Guest; talking about my time as a student at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, giving advice to students on how to achieve their best and also showing some of my designs. I've already visited FIDM Orange County and FIDM San Francisco, and now it was time for FIDM Los Angeles' "3 Days of Fashion". Check out all the fun via my Blog Photo Recap:

The Dad Catwalk Contest: Before I began talking about my experience at FIDM and how I "got to where I got" in my career, I wanted to have some "Runway Fun" so....I MC'ed a "Dads Catwalk Contest" (it's become a tradition now). The dads were VERY into it as you will see from the photos below(!) but first I showed them a quick example of how to "walk the runway"...
