Nick Verreos emcee's FIDM Debut 2011--flanked by his "NIKOLAKI Muses", wearing NIKOLAKI gowns

Last night, a "Little Birdie"--well, a very good friend of mine--was watching PBS (he's so educated and enlightened) last night, and happened to come across the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM Debut 2011 Fashion Show! He emailed me telling me "Nick! You're on PBS!!" Unfortunately, I got the email TODAY (insert sad face).

But, after a quick web-and-TV-schedule search, I found out that KLCS-TV/The Education Station, will be airing the FIDM Debut 2011 show once again TONIGHT (Saturday) at 7PM, as well as tomorrow Sunday at 3PM and on Tuesday May 3rd at 8PM (Yeayyy!).

KLCS-TV is an LA-based, non commercial educational PBS channel and in fact, is one of the most-watched PBS stations in the country! For you Southern California residents, you can find KLCS-TV on Channel 3 or 58, but make sure to check your local TV/Cable listings.

The actual show occurred only last month and it was FABULOUS! FIDM Debut is the grand culmination of almost a year's work from the esteemed Graduates of the Advanced Theater Costume and Advanced Fashion Design Departments. The Theater Costume graduates got to design costumes for a "Carnival in Rio" (above)...

And the Fashion Design graduates designed their first mini-collections, which ranged from directional sportswear, knitwear, menswear, children's wear to cocktail dresses and gowns. And since I am the Official Spokesperson for FIDM--along with being an Instructor and Alumn of the College, I was invited to make a "special appearance" and introduce the show!

So, mark your calendars for the DEBUT Runway Show telecast on KLCS:
Saturday	April 23, 2011	7:00 p.m.
