Open House, FIDM San Diego

FIDM, San Diego Open House This last weekend, I was invited back to San Diego(soon becoming my second home!) to do a couple of Mini-Speeking engagements with the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising at their "Open House". When I arrived at the school, guess what was waiting for me? A Plant Dress!! A local florist, by th name of Peggi Walker(www.peggiwalker.com) who does amazing designs created a dress out of flowers and plants! It was beautiful and very well done. She said that I should have called her when I was struggling with my flower/plant dress. I wish I even had that option during the challenge! The FIDM "Open House" invites High School students , post- college degree professionals, anyone interested in possibly attending the school for a tour of the school, its facilities, classes, etc. It was fun to meet students who are thinking about fashion and studying design or apparel manufacturing. I spoke about my experience, my schooling, my role as an Instructor as well as a working designer in the industry. The feedback I receive d from everyone who attended was positive and constructive. Cannot wait to go back!

Hi Nick!
You look fabulous!
Thanks for mentioning me on your blog...I do a full line of floral couture if you ever need it.
Hats are great fun, too!
I did notice however that my name is mispelled and will not actually direct people to my website.
it is www.peggiwalker.com (not peggY)..
Thanks again!
I wish you all the best!
Peggi

mr. nick verreos!!!! i've had your blog bookmarked on my laptop for forever, but didn't have the guts to comment until now! i had theee most wonderful opportunity of meeting you at fidm in sd, and that was the only reason i went. i had gone to their previous open house in april, but wanted to go again just to see you this time! you signed my fidm folder and even drew a beautiful sketch for me, which i will frame and cherish forever! it was just a surreal experience to meet you and hear you talk and come out to meet potential fidm students. i absolutely love your personality especially your sense of humor, and it was great to see how humble and respectful you are. because of that i really look up to you and think you are a great role model. i hope to meet you again or to see one of your shows which would be a dream come true! i wish you even more success than you have already achieved!! thank you for being my inspiration!
