FIDM.....FIDM DEBUT 2015, MC'ing the FIDM DEBUT 2015 Runway Shows and More

Pic Collage Time: Nick Verreos MC'ing the FIDM DEBUT 2015 Runway Shows last Thursday and Friday, Barker Hangar Santa Monica

Last Thursday and Friday, I had the pleasure (and REALLY FUN time!) of MC'ing the FIDM DEBUT 2015 Runway Shows. FIDM's annual DEBUT Runway Show attracts nearly 10,000 people over three days and features designs by graduating students in FIDM's Fashion Design and Theatre Costume Design Advanced Study programs, as well as work from Interior Design, Digital Media, and Textile Design students. The extravaganza concludes on the third night with the DEBUT Runway Show & Gala, a scholarship fundraising event attended by industry notables, FIDM Alumni, and fashion celebrities.

Presenting...Nick Verreos! Making my Runway Stage entrance--with my NIKOLAKI and NV Nick Verreos EVINE Live-dressed models in tow--FIDM DEBUT 2015 Runway Show, Barker Hangar Santa Monica

For the last several years, DEBUT has been held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. In addition to the industry, the runway show is also attended by high school students from around the country, friends and family of the graduating students, fellow FIDM Students, and FIDM Staff and Faculty. I was so excited to MC the FIDM DEBUT Runway show once again...
