FIDM.....FIDM Advanced Study Program in Menswear Class of 2017 Reception: RECAP!
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...

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!
