Ready for 3 Days of Fashion FIDM San Diego: Nick Verreos at FIDM San Diego 3 Days of Fashion 2017
Last Friday was my first "Special Appearance" at this year's FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising "3 Days of Fashion" Summer Program. As the Official Spokesperson for my Alma Mater, FIDM, I have the pleasure every year of visiting all the four campuses for the college's premier Summer Program "3 Days of Fashion".
"Back when I was at FIDM..."--Nick Verreos doing his "Special Lecture" at FIDM San Diego 3 Days of Fashion 2017
FIDM's "3 Days of Fashion" brings together hundreds and hundreds of high school students from all over the U.S. and the world, to experience fashion through the eyes of a college student through this immersive three-day program. Students take draping, sketching, trend forecasting classes, they collaborate on creative projects, meet fashion professionals and FIDM alums (like ME!) + much, much more!

My first stop was FIDM San Diego! I had an absolute BLAST doing my "Special Lecture", answering ALL the student's questions, showing a special fashion presentation of my NIKOLAKI gowns, doing a Meet & Greet, taking LOTS of Instagram photos AND...I even hosted an impromptu "Boy Runway Walk-off" Contest! Check out all the fun photos:
