Hello FIDM! Nick Verreos--FIDM Los Angeles 2014 "3 Days of Fashion"

Work The Runway: Nick Verreos works the runway at FIDM Los Angeles 2014 "3 Days of Fashion"

I always try and do something unexpected and/or special for FIDM "3 Days of Fashion" and Los Angeles was no exception so...I asked the 300+ audience if there were any dad's in the audience, and naturally there were, so...I had a Dad Runway "Walk-Off"--I asked the seven Dad volunteers to do a little runway walk and the audience (including their own children who were attending the FIDM Los Angeles 2014 "3 Days of Fashion") voted on the best one...
