Last week was a very, very busy week for me: it was the FIDM Debut Week/Weekend! As the Official Spokesperson for the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM, I was honored to have been asked--once again--to host the FIDM Debut 2013 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 (that post will follow, of course!).



Here's my "FIDM 2013 Day One" Recap:



First up, hosting the Educators Luncheon at the Millennium Hotels Biltmore Downtown L.A. Hotel:

On Thursday afternoon--before the first Debut 2013 runway showing--I hosted the "FIDM Debut 2013 Educators Luncheon", an annual event organized by FIDM for eductacors/teachers across the country. I had a BLAST mingling with all the teachers from all over the U.S., doing some special "Nick Educators Luncheon Red Carpet" commentating, emceeing a panel of FIDM's International Manufacturing and Product Development/IMPD graduates/alumn, as well as emceeing a very informative and interactive game.

Nick Sketch--One of the educators--Carlotta Maggi (above with Nick Verreos) of Santiago High School in Corona California--drew a very special illustration just for me, and brought it to the FIDM Debut 2013 Educators Luncheon! Needless to say: LOVE HER!!!





After Hosting the FIDM Debut 2013 Educators Luncheon, it was time to head to the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica to emcee Day One of FIDM Debut 2013 Fashion Show:
