NIKOLAKI - Spring 2011



Amanda Fields for Nikolaki Spring 2011

When Nick Verreos invited us to his Spring 2011 show at Style Week Orange County, I was determined to "make it work."

It's not a bad drive from Scottsdale and my son Dan, and his sweetheart Ryan, were more than happy to join me. We left bright and early on Friday morning.

On the way, I did a phone interview with Valerie Mayen (Not while I was driving, of course...) - she was adorable!

The show was at an outdoor mall called The Irvine Spectrum Center. We checked into our hotel, dropped off our bags and headed to the venue. We arrived at about 5:30 and there was already a long line of fans waiting to get into the show space. This is only a fraction of the line.



Fortunately we were on the "VIP List" (Thanks, Nick and David!) and were issued wristbands so that we could relax a little. We did our part for the economy and shopped while we waited for the event space to open.

Once in the space we were greeted like old friends by members of the Nikolaki family. Here are Nick's mom, Raquel and David's mom, Conchita.

Longtime BPRs will remember the last time we met them.



Here is David's sister, Marisa and Nick's sister, Rita (in Nikolaki, of course!)



There were delicious refreshments and generous gift bags. Among the treasures were chocolates from Nordstrom, gift cards from Hollywood Million Denim, and these lovely glasses from Ezekiel.

Islands of the World Fashion Week a Huge Success

Nick Verreos and David Paul have returned home after a very busy week in the Bahamas.

The "Islands of the World Fashion Week" news has been filling the mailbox and by all accounts, it was a lot of fun and a grand success.

Of all of the glamorous images from the event, of course I had to select this one as my favorite. On the left you'll see Nick's parents, Jim and Raquel and his adorable niece and nephew Casia and Alain. It's great that Nick and David were able to include their family in this experience.

Nick Verreos Heads to Islands of the World Fashion Week




Hi BPR,

It's past midnight and we are still packing for our trip to the Bahamas.
We have to be up in three hours (no rest for the wicked), to get ready, pile 7 suitcases (yes, we are bringing the entire collection with us--we don't trust DHL to get there on time) and ourselves into my SUV.

Then we will drop Benny (our dog) off at the "Doggy Hotel" and then head over to LAX, drop our car and catch a shuttle to board a 7 AM flight to Miami and then to the Bahamas.

Wish us luck!

It's been a very tiring and extremely brutal last few weeks to the finish line. We have done this all by ourselves, except for the amazing help of our amazing seamstress.

Who knows what kind of models we will have, and if they will fit into our standard runway sample size 2/4 gowns? (We have only seen composite cards and will have fittings once we settle into the Bahamas.) We did our part. Hopefully the Islands Of The World Fashion Week will be good to us and the Caribbean Gods will be on our side...David is bringing the good ol' Singer Sewing Machine just in case we have to "Make It Work".

Here are three photos--one of our beautiful fit model/muse, Amanda Fields, wearing a draped back bias-cut silk crepe gown in crimson red (you get to see her back at least.)
The other ones are: A silk jersey draped gown with a copper sequined waist corset
and a Gold Silk Lurex "Siren" gown-(sketch above)-all from the upcoming Spring 2009 Collection.
This is an exclusive preview. We took the photos at our studio. There are also some additional sketches I did, which I posted on my blog.

The theme is: La Epoca de Oro Del Cine Mexicano. (The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema!)

We'll try and take lots of photos---and hopefully, we might get one day to actually enjoy the gorgeous Atlantis Resort and pretend like it was a "mini-vacation"...

OXOX
Nick, David (and Benny)
