For my last "Nick's Look's"/Mentor Style Blog --this post is all about the Season Finale Episode of Lifetime's "Project Runway: Under The Gunn" and what I wore. You can read my take on this final episode HERE. but this blog is all about my style. So many people have commented on how nice I looked so that is why I originally decided to do this. And also to give props to my huney--David Paul--who styled EVERY single outfit. Not out of vanity's sake but as a former working stylist/wardrobe costumer, he just wanted to make sure I wouldn't repeat outfits and be "style shamed". So..let's get to my outfits:

Time for my "Nick's Looks" STYLE BLOG of what I wore during this past episode of Lifetime's Project Runway: Under The Gunn. In case you missed my "Nick's Take"/Inside Dish blog, you can click HERE for that. This past episode was all about designing a look inspired by a Marvel Comics Superhero.

And yes, in case you might have forgotten Tim Gunn was featured in a special edition of Marvel Comics with "Iron Man" about five years ago back in 2009.

In this past week's episode of Lifetime's "Project Runway: Under The Gunn", it was the "Real Woman" Benefit Cosmetics Challenge. You can read my "Nick's Take"/Inside Dish on the episode HERE --yes, Oscar should have won and Tim Gunn is "trippin" (for a lack of a better word) in RE: to saying I was there Creative Director and that I FORCED the "Pageant Gown" on Dani Vierra, Oscar's client...but that's neither here nor there. This post is about my "Mentor Style":

Time for my blog on "Nick's Looks"/Mentor Style Gallery for this past week's episode. In case you missed my "Nick's Take"/Inside Dish on this very drama-filled episode, click HERE. This post is about my fashion. I always get asked--or at least get tons of comments on my style on the show (mostly nice, Thank You!). My partner-for-life David Paul styled me when I was filming the entire show--he picked out all my outfits while going througgh my closet and setting everything on a rolling rack. If you think I am kidding, check this out:

In this week's edition of "Nick's Looks"/Mentor Style--here's a Style Recap of the fashion my trusty life partner-in-crime--and unofficial "Under The Gunn" wardrobe stylist, David Paul put together for me...Enjoy!


First up, here's what I wore for the "Challenge Announcement" which happened at Santa Monica Beach on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) :

Last week on Project Runway: "Under The Gunn", it  was all about "Avant-Garde" and the theme was "Steampunk". I blogged about my "Nick's Take/Inside Dish" HERE and so now it's time to discuss my "Mentor Style" for that episode. Let's begin with what I wore for the "Announcement" of the challenge. This took place at Griffith Park's Travel Town Museum. In the episode you see me looking like this:

Time for "Nick's Looks"--my weekly blog on my Mentor fashion. For this past week's Episode 6--we visited the beautiful Getty Villa/J. Paul Getty Museum in Pacific Palisades, where the designers had a challenge to create looks inspired by the Getty Villa and new film "Pompeii". On the morning of this episode, of course we had no idea where we were going, we were only told the night before that the Challenge introduction would not be at FIDM but instead "off site". We drove and drove until we arrived at the Getty Villa. It was a very windy and slightly cold (for Southern California standards) morning--as you can see from our coats/jackets above.

Thurston Nick III: I wore a vintage navy blue double breasted jacket I found in a thrift store ages ago, a Zara blue striped dress shirt with white French cuffs and collar, jeans, a Robert Talbott orange printed silk scarf and my Marc Jacobs cuff links. It was my "Thurston Howell III of Gilligan's Island" look, or at least that's how I made fun of myself. I should have also brought a swimsuit to go into that pool--but I'm sure I might have gotten kicked off the premises, only to be "black-listed" from the Getty Villa!

For this past week's Project Runway "Under The Gunn" episode--as stressful as it was--I still found time to dress up.  The theme was "Make a Stage Look for Zendaya". In case you missed my "Nick's Take" on the episode, click HERE. This post is about my fashion/looks, of course.

Nick Workroom Check-In Style: For this first day--when the challenge was announced and the designers had to create their look for Zendaya, I wore a pink striped "seersucker"-style jacket from Topman, a blue dress shirt with white collar from U.S. Polo Assn., Zara jeans, and silk pocket scarf from Etro:





Thanks to my one-and-only NIKOLAKI design partner and unofficial stylist, David Paul, for styling me!

Every week I do a "Nick's Looks" blog post here of what I wear on this season's Lifetime TV's Prpoject Runway "Under The Gunn" and so here's the one for this past week. This 4th episode was titled "Unconventional Vampire" and I talked about my "Nick's Take/Inside Dish" of the episode HERE in case you missed it. Now, it's time to talk about my "Mentor" style:

On this week's episode of Lifetime Network's "Under The Gunn"--the challenge was to design a red carpet-worthy look based on "Hollywood Glamour". I gave some "Inside Dish" on the episode in my "Nick's Take" HERE. This post is about the fashion that I--as well as my fellow mentors--wore for that episode. For the first part of the episode, I donned a denim and satin lapel jacket from Zara, light purple dress shirt from H & M, purple skinny trousers from Topman, an Hermes silk pocket hankie and yes, my YSL "Johnny" boots.

Nick's Looks Episode 2 "Under the Gunn"--I began this "style blog" here on NICKVERREOS.COM last week documenting what I wore on Lifetime's "Under the Gunn". If you missed the "Episode 1 Nick's Looks", click HERE. For this second week, here are images of not just what I wore, but also my two other co-mentors, Anya Ayoung-Chee and Mondo Guerra. Check it out:

Every week I will try and do a "Nick's Looks" Fashion Take and show you what I wore--all bought and not borrowed--and all styled by my partner-for-life and NIKOLAKI/NV Nick Verreos co-designer David Paul. David worked as a Wardrobe Stylist, Costumer on many TV shows, films and commercials for NBC, MTV, ABC, etc. so I was happy I had him to style me for the show!

Here's my "Nick's Looks" for this week's "Premiere/Episode 1":


My blue sateen jacket with black shawl collar, my skinny black trousers and skinny black tie were from Topman, and my silk printed pocket hankie/scarf was from Etro. My boots are YSL "Johnny Boots"


For the Mentor Picking session of Episode 1, I wore my favorite pinstripe double-breasted jacket as well as denim skinny jeans, both from Zara. The lavender dress shirt is from H&M and pocket scarf from Etro. My chocolate brown boots are YSL "Johnny Boots".
