Nick Appearance Minute: My Recap of Fashion's Night Out at Lord & Taylor in NYC!!

FNO Fab!

XOXO, Nick Verreos: Nick Verreos signing autographs at Lord & taylor's Project Runway Fashion's Night Out 2012 event

Last week, as you may know, I was in NYC for various Project Runway/NY Fashion Week/Fashion's Night Out (FNO) events, activities and parties. In one of my recent posts here on my nickverreos.com blog, I gave a fun (or at least I thought it was fun!) RECAP of the Project Runway 10th Anniversary Party at Lord & Taylor to celebrate ten seasons (Oh Lord, I feel like a Project Runway Grandpa!) of the show. It was a very VIP event and a great Reunion of past contestants/designers---but without the DRAMA and stress of those sometimes not-so-nice televised Project Runway Reunions (Yeay!).

Make It Work FNO: Lord & Taylor Fashion's Night Out Celebrates Project Runway 10th Anniversary

The following evening on Fashion's Night Out Thursday, I was invited by the Weinstein Company--Co-Producers of Project Runway--to be part of the Lord & Taylor Fashion's Night Out Project Runway event.

The store was having many, many different events and celebrities that night--including the one-and-only Miss Kim Kardashian who was there autographing her new fragrance, as well as my new best friend, Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi, who was doing a Meet-and-Greet autograph session for her new activewear line.

The Dress Address: Project Runway 10th Anniversary Dress Collection at Lord & Taylor Fifth Avenue Flagship

So, in addition to all that, Lord & Taylor thought it would be fun to have it's FNO shoppers get to meet various Project Runway Designers and SHOP the exclusive ten-piece Project Runway Dress Collection--one of which included MY fabulous design (Hello!!).

Since my dress was a cobalt blue color, I also decided to give COLOR, in terms of my outfit for the night bringing out my favorite (and only) teal blue blazer, striped bow tie and purple pocket handkerchief.



The Event:

I'm a Big Fan: Nick Verreos--Lord & Taylor Project Runway Fashion's Night Out 2012 event

From the very moment I stepped into the 2nd floor--where the Project Runway FNO event was happening--it was a sea of people--all fans of Project Runway--lots of young girls, their mommies (love the mommies!), fashionista boys, and anything in between! It was just THE CUTEST!! So many people---kept coming up to me "OMG! You were my FAVORITE...I really LOVED your Barbie dress!" and so on...it was very endearing to say the least.

Oooh I see a Crown: Nick Verreos spots a beauty pageant fan in the audience--Lord & Taylor Project Runway Fashion's Night Out 2012 event

For the next four + hours, I NEVER stopped posing for photos, signing t-shirts, bags...it was madness...and I LOVED IT! I was schvitzing (as you can imagine) and at one point, I had my own personal forehead wiper--this lovely Project Runway fan (a mommie, of course) who made sure I was "semi-matte" throughout it all. Thank you darling!

Queen For a Day: Nick Verreos with "Jr. Teen Miss New York American Coed" --she was SOOOO CUTE!!! She even pretended to crown me! I'm sure there are photos or video of that somewhere...Lord & Taylor Project Runway Fashion's Night Out 2012 event

While I was on the 2nd floor spending many hours taking photos, signing autographs and DISHING on Project Runway with fans...this season's designers were on another floor of the expansive Lord & Taylor Fifth Avenue Flagship, creating original t-shirts for the FNO customers. My NIKOLAKI design partner--David Paul--was kind enough to take a break from taking pics of me--to go see what else was happening and got some fun shots:

Because I just couldn't get enough of her, after the Lord & Taylor FNO event, we actually went to Pastis Restaurant in the Meatpacking District and had cocktails and a very very delicious dinner!

Oh and Look!! An FNO customer (yes, another Project Runway fan/mommie!) actually put on my 10th Anniversary Project Runway Collection Dress and modeled it:

Family Chic: My NIKOLAKI design--and life partner--David Paul and I invited his half-sister--Andrea Paul (who happens to live in NYC and attend NYU) to come and enjoy the Lord & Tayor Fashion's Night Out festivities and support my appearance--Needless to say she had a BLAST! We were very happy to see her (and she looked so cute in her chic and very Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 pixie hair cut and styling!).



It was a fun Project Runway Fashion's Night Out event and I was happy to be part of it and more importantly--very happy to have met each and every on of the mommies, gorgeous girls and fab fashionista boys--who took the time to come to the 2nd Floor and get a little piece of "Project Runway". Just the fact that you even wanted to take a pic with me...well, "done and done" as they say. Thank You!!!

One of the highlights of the night has to be Diane Von Furstenberg presenting Beyoncé with the Fashion Icon Award: the superstar took the stage in an eye-catching Givenchy outfit and made a touching speech about her family and the power of fashion.

Among the past Fashion Icon honorees we have Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, Johnny Depp, Lady Gaga, Iman, Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman.

Read Beyonce’s full speech:

“I feel so much love and I feel so proud right now. Thank you guys for this incredible honor. As long as I can remember, fashion has always been a part of my life. Its effect on me actually started before I was born. Most of you guys don’t know this but my grandmother was a seamstress. My grandparents did not have enough money and could not afford my mother’s Catholic school tuition, so my grandmother sewed clothes for the priests and the nuns, and made uniforms for the students in exchange for my mother’s education. She then passed this gift down to my mother and taught her how to sew.

When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels didn’t really want to dress four black, country, curvy girls. And we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and creativity to giver her children their dreams. My mother and my Uncle Johnny, God bless his soul, designed all of our first costumes and made each piece by hand, individually sewing hundreds of crystals and pearls, putting so much passion and love into ever small detail. When I wore these clothes on stage I felt like Khaleesi. I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name.

My mother — who’s so fabulous and beautiful and is here tonight, I love you — my grandmother, and my uncle were always with me so I could not fail. My mother actually designed my wedding dress, my prom dress, my first CFDA Awards dress, my first Grammy dress, and the list goes on and on and this to me is the true power and potential of fashion. It’s a tool for finding your own identity, expression, and strength. It transcends style and is a time capsule of all of our greatest milestones. So to my mother, my uncle, my grandma, thank y’all. Thank you for showing me that having a presence is far more than the clothes you wear and your physical beauty. Thank you for showing me to never take no for an answer. Thank you for showing me how to take risks, work hard, and live life on my own terms.

I want to say thank you to every designer who works tirelessly to make people feel like they can write their own stories. Y’all are fairy godmothers, magicians, sculptors, and sometimes even therapists. I encourage you to not forget this power you have or take it lightly. We have an opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection. Soul has no color, no shape, no form. Just like all your work it goes so far beyond what the eyes can see. You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, to show people how to embrace their complications and flaws and see the true beauty that’s inside all of us. Thank you so much for this incredible award I’ll never forget this night. Got bless y’all.”

These words are truly inspiring, we appreciate that she took that moment to thank all the people that worked hard to support her career. Isn't this a true Queen? 

Ok, let's not forget the purpose of this article: what about the red carpet?

Best Dressed

Beyoncé in Givenchy

Demure, elegant, classic, costumy...call it as you want it, but this look to us is a win.

We all were expecting the next sheer embellished gown, but Beyoncé surprised all of us in a crystals-embellished Givenchy suit.

The hat is a reminder of the Lemonade's era, as well as a smart advertise for her Formation World Tour.

Fashion as a communication tool: the queen slayed again.

Elsa Hosk in Naeem Khan, Shanina Shaik in Givenchy, Jessica Hart in The Row

Elsa Hosk stole our hearts wearing a custom Naeem Khan gold jumpsuit. 

This look could have easily looked messy, if overstyled: fortunately this is not the case, because at the end of the day it's not simple to deal with net, sheer patterns, metallic emebellishments and fringes at the same time! 

The new Victoria's Secret angel completed her look with statement earrings, light make-up and elegant waves.

Australian beauty Shanina Shaik opted for something less flashy, as she wore a light Givenchy dress. At first sight it felt too simple for the occasion, but it is impossible to not appreciate the proportion, the silhouette, the cuts and drapes of this beautiful design. Shanina styled her outfit with a dainty necklace, which matched the triangular shaped cut-outs of the dress, Tamara Mellon sandals with clear vinyl inserts and a fur Lanvin purse.

Jessica Hart was all about minimal designs last night, as she wore a three piece silk ensemble and Alexandre Birman 'Clarita' velvet sandals. 

Worst Dressed

Taylor Hill in Thakoon, Constance Jablonski in J. Mendel, Adriana Lima in Marc Jacobs

It hurts to see such beautiful women wearing expensive looks that do nothing for their figure: let's get a closer look...

First we have Taylor Hill in what we could easily describe as Granny-chic or Hamish couture: this Thakoon's design definitely needed a bit more drama.

Costance Jablonski seems to have borrowed Taylor's stylist for the night: just another beautiful design...by aprons' standards.

Last but not least one of the most beautiful models in the indutry, Adriana Lima, trapped in a Marc Jacobs suit, that simply does nothing for her bombshell figure.

Drama of the century! Famous designer Marc Jacobs tortures a young girl!

Drama of the century! Famous designer Marc Jacobs tortures a young girl!

My name is Angel Barta. I am fashion designer.

American designer Marc Jacobs has been stealing my unique ideas for 5 years. He copied all my photos for many big brands and fashion magazines without my permission.

Why is Marc Jacobs torturing me?

He is a sick, egomaniac person.

He can't stand the fact that I denied to do the humiliating things he asked me to.
( He asked me to do many disgusting things in order to be a model) Jacobs asked Jennifer Lawrence to take naked photos in order to get a well-paying campaign contract. Read more here



What is his goal?

1. He wants to be the most powerful fashion designer in the world. 

2. He wants to break me by using MY talent meanwhile he suppressed my efforts at creating a career for myself through psychological torture.

3. He wants to go on using MY talent since he  knows that my style and talent is the certain key to success.




How does Marc Jacobs copy me?

  He copies every single details on my photos. He uses each photo for more times.
He copies the background, the concept, the colors, the poise, the mood, the outfit.

He copies anything I do. He has ex-colleagues and friends working at almost every big fashion brand. He can bring my ideas to Dior, Nina Ricci, Chanel, Prada, with the help of his friends. (Katie Grand, Camille Micheli, Peter Copping, etc.)


After 5 years of silence... A couple of months ago I started spreading my true story with Marc Jacobs, he and his friends seriously life-threatened me! They want me to shut up and accept the fact that they are using my talent meanwhile ignoring my person from the fashion world.

 You may ask how is that possible?

Well, everything started at the beginning of  2008, when I was only 16 years old.
 I met Marc Jacobs at his gym in Paris. He noticed how special my style was from the first moment. He invited me to his Louis Vuitton fashion show and the dinner after. He has been stalking me since then.

   He promised he would make the biggest topmodel out of me, because he could sell anything with my face. He said I was the first woman he fell in love with. He fooled with me with love, marriage, kids and topmodel carrier. I believed his every word!

He asked me to inspire him with my photos, my designs, my energy and my love.

   In 2008 Summer he invited to his office, where he did a private casting, only for me and he took my measurements personally.

He mentioned our meeting at his office on his profile in New Yorker Magazine in 2008 Sept.1. Click here, to read the article

   For two years we spoke 10 hours every day. Jacobs wanted to know everything about me. He became obsessed with my personality and the unique style I represent. He said my energy was vital for him. He told me he needed me, because with my talent he could be the new Picasso, he wanted to write his name with Golden Letters into the Fashion History. He copied my photos in his campaigns and replaced his long-time photographers with MY favorite photographer Steven Meisel. Since 2008 Meisel shoots all his Louis Vuitton Campaigns.

Marc Jacobs in the Industrie Magazine, dressed up as Angel Barta. The stylist was Katie Grand.

Jacobs copied my style for his fashion shows. It was a huge success! Marc became overwhelmed by the success.

   He told me he loved me and he would tell the fashion world the next time that he designed about me, and he would make the biggest fashion designer out of me and we would work together officially. I believed him that he would support me to be able to work in the fashion industry and I helped him for free. I did not get anything for my ideas, only his nice words and fake promises.

  Jacobs kept torturing me: Saying he loved me, sending me love messages, poems, he wrote love songs and asked famous singers to sing it. He made those singers to wear the clothes he designed about me.  For example Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taylor Swift. ( Rachel Zoe, famous stylist supports MJ and dresses the celebs) 

   After more seasons I started to realize that MJ was just using my talent for his own success. I noticed that he hacked my cell phone, he knew all my text messages, emails, he was checking my facebook. He contacted my friends from fake accounts and sent them messages.

   After a while I stopped talking to him. I realized that he never loved me. He just loved the success he got from my talent. He took advantage of my pure feelings for him.
I wanted to break up with him!  He kept calling me, texting me, but I never answered. I stopped giving him photos.... I wanted to forget him... but he did not leave me alone. He wrote me every day that he would kill himself if I don't answer.

  Jacobs became more and more obsessed with me and did many crazy and cruel things to steal my ideas and keep me in a secret. He is afraid of my talent. He does everything to hide me!

He stalkes me. He hired people to follow me all day and take photos and videos on me on the street for Jacobs. This way he could copy everything I was wearing. Marc Jacobs started to make fashion videos, copying my life, my memories, my moments. The models has to act and poise the way I do. They have to copy my movements.

Marc Jacobs, the Manipulator

  Jacobs wants to lead the everything. He tries to crontrol the celebrities also.
Rachel Zoe, famous stylist from Hollywood dresses up the stars in Marc's clothes. (For example in the last minute Anna Hathaway wore a pink Prada dress- designed by MJ for the Oscars instead of the Valentino gown she was planning to wear.)
     

Kissing with Rachel Zoe

 He puts his friends, ex- collegues at many differant fashion brands.
 He has Camille Micheli at Dior ( She used to work at the PR Louis Vuitton, with Marc Jacobs for more then 10 years, before MJ got her " Creative- Jewelry Director" Job at Dior in 2009)
     Peter Copping at Nina Ricci. ( He used to be the right hand of Marc Jacobs for 10 years at LV before he got the creative director job at Nina Ricci in 2009, thanks to MJ)

And his main supporter....

KATIE GRAND

   Katie Grand supports him in his cruel game against me. Katie Grand works for many big brands and fashion magazines. She is the editor of LOVE and POP Magazine. With her help Jacobs can copy my ideas and spread it in the whole fashion world. Marc Jacobs is egomaniac and wants to control the whole fashion world. He makes the topmodels, he decides who's gonna be the next IT Girl, who will be in most of the campaignes, not just in his ads, but in every brand.

Marc Jacobs " the soul-terrorist"


    I wrote a 500 pages long book about the first 2 years of my relationship with Marc Jacobs. The title is " The Secret Love Affair in Paris". I was hoping MJ would leave me alone after reading my book. I wrote honestly about my dreams, wishes and feelings. Jacobs used every information against me. He gave all my dreams for other models from my country in order to break me. Katie Grand casted the Hungarian girls for all the shows that she works for. (for example, a Hungarian model, Vanessa has been the face of Prada for 3 seasons already, this is the first time someone gets such long Prada contract) They have to dress up in my style and copy me and my poises in the editorials. Anywhere I go must face the photos he copied. I see my ideas in the magazines, on the campaignes on the street etc.
 You can read more details on how he pressured me with the Hungarian models, click here


Marc Jacobs does not want me to have the energy to let the truth out so that people will know that all of his creations were originally my ideas. He designs my style, my soul, everything that is  me!
 Marc is more than pleased to show me how other girls easily get success in the fashion world through him, meanwhile he ignores me from the fashion industry.

Marc Jacobs the sex addicted Porn Baron


Marc Jacobs makes his acting debut in a new film "Disconnect". He plays Harvey, a character he describes as 'sleazy' who lures underage kids off the street with the promise of shelter and income, for web-chat porn and prostitution.

'In the end, I’m really not a bad character. I’m actually the one who is protecting them in a way. I’ve taken them off the streets, and they don’t get harmed. They’re doing something that is virtual, though they are talking about sex. But you can look at it two ways,' he explained. text via dailymail

  Well, his role in the movie is very interesting since Marc Jacobs is really into chat-sex in real life too. In my book I already wrote in 2010 how much he loves sex on the internet and how many perverse messages he sent me for years. He has been harassing me since I was 16 years old. Jacobs is playing himself in the movie actually... his real perverse side.

Watch Marc Jacobs ask a 15 years old kid if He " Jerks off" in new Disconnect clip 



18 years old Lily McMenamy had to walk topless on his latest fashion show in New York. She said Marc told her how to hold her breasts in one hand. Marc did not let her go home until 2.am. Read my article with details: If you want to walk the Marc Jacobs runway, all you have to do is to satisfy his perverse fantasy.

Guess, I don't need to tell you why you see Cara Delenvigne everywhere lately. MJ and Katie Grand supports her. She is in the latest cover of Grand's LOVE Magazine.

You may ask now, what does Marc Jacobs think about my articles where I unfold his dark side ?

               

Marc Jacobs sent me

   a serious life-threatening message

               

I ask everyone who supports the truth, to help me and share my link on facebook or twitter. Please help the truth to be out in public!
I'd like to have a free life without Marc Jacobs stalking me.

Please share the link of my blogspot : http://styleangelique.blogspot.com/

I made this video in 2012 summer. I was wearing my own designes stripped Angel Barta dress. In 2012 summer polka dots were the must have trends of the summer. 2 months later Jacobs designed a collection full of stripped outfits... each single outfit was stripped! 

Here are a few examples...

Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton Tent during Paris Fashion Week. This is what I feel every season before his shows... knowing that the models are inside fitting the clothes that were originally my ideas... and I.. I have to be standing outside...

Marc's best buddy Kanye West recently stole a Hungarian song. The band Omega is going to sue him. Marc asked Kanye to copy their music without permission. Read the details here.
