Rounding out my "Special Guest" appearances these past two weeks for the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM's fabulous "3 Days of Fashion" Summer Program, the FIDM San Francisco campus was the last stop--and a SUPER WONDERFUL one to boot! Previously, I had the honor of making special visits at the FIDM San Diego, FIDM Los Angeles and FIDM Orange County campuses and so San Francisco was the last one to get to.

Many of you may know that I spent my teenage years in the Bay Area, after my family moved to San Bruno and subsequently, nearby Millbrae. To make a long story short, I always have a special affinity for San Francisco since, well, I kinda grew up there (or at least nearby!). So...back to my visit to FIDM San Francisco...

Last week--and weekend--I had the honor of being part of the annual FIDM DEBUT Fashion Shows for my Alma Mater, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. The DEBUT show is an incredible one-of-a-kind FASHION SHOW EXTRAVAGANZA which showcases the designs of graduates from the Fashion Design as well as Theater Costume Design Advanced Design programs. The DEBUT show spans over three days and attracts nearly 10,000 attendants during that time. The shows are held at The Barker Hangar Santa Monica California. 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. I had such a STYLE BLAST being a part of this year's FIDM DEBUT and well, to honor that, here is my blog photo gallery recap! Enjoy!
