Fun In the OC...
This past Saturday, as one of my "duties" as the Official Spokesperson for the
Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM, I made a trip to the
FIDM Orange County Campus for their annual
FIDM Summer 2011 Open House. FIDM Open House is a chance for high schoolers (and post-graduates) and their parents to check out FIDM, its facilities, alumn, instructors as well as the curriculum--just in case they might be thinking of attending a fashion college.
FIDM Orange County Campus, Irvine CaliforniaI live in LA so I thought "heck, it'll take just 45 minutes to get there!" (it has before). Nope, try almost TWO HRS...On a Saturday morning! Yep, welcome to the world of LA Traffic. Finally, I made it and just in time for my first "Lecture/Special Appearance".
FIDM OC invited members of the FAB
Nordstrom Brass Plum (BP.) Fashion Board to come and check out
FIDM OC Summer 2011 Open House--and hear me speak!
Southern California Nordstrom BP. Fashion Board...and Nick Verreos, FIDM Orange County Summer 2011 Open HouseMembers of the
Nordstrom BP. Fashion Board from all these different areas/local shopping centers were already waiting for me as I walked in and did "my thang"! I told them all about my recent Europe Trip and my new FAB red "Man Bag" as well as how I got into fashion, my love of sketching, talked about Project Runway, owning a fashion design business for ten years, as well as having celebs like
Beyonce, Katy Perry and Heidi Klum wear my NIKOLAKI creations.

Nordstrom BP. Fashion Board group and even met a BIG FAN--who was almost crying (well, a bit teary eyed) when she met me:
LOVE her!!! (look at my "Clutch my Pearls" face!)
Then it was onto my next Lecture at the
FIDM OC Summer 2011 Open House. These were general--but still VERY IMPORTANT!-- guests who came to the Open House to check out the Campus. I loved this group as well because there were several "Mommies and Daddies" in the audience, so you KNOW I had to give a couple "Mom & Dad" high-fives! There were also several attendees who GAVE some Fashion LOOKS!!! Naturally, I had to get some pics:
