FIDM......Orange County August 2015 Open House

FIDM Orange County 2015 Open House: Nick Verreos "Special Appearance"--FIDM Orange County

This past weekend, I went to the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM Orange County campus for their Open House event. As a proud graduate of FIDM and the college's Official Spokesperson, I LOVE visiting the FIDM campuses especially during their great "3 Days of Fashion" Summer programs and Open Houses.

Welcome!: Nick Verreos arriving at the FIDM Orange County campus--FIDM OC 2015 Open House

The FIDM Open House is a day-long event geared for high school (as well as post-graduate) individuals interested in a career in Fashion Design, Visual Communications, Product Development, as well as all the other majors offered by FIDM. It's a way to "get to know" the college, it's instructors/faculty, alumni, and facilities. Speaking of facilities, check out these from the FIDM OC campus:

Computer Lab Fab: FIDM Orange County 2015 Open House

Student Projects: These are samples of student projects from the FIDM OC 2015 Open House--FIDM Orange County

Chairing Styles: There's a wonderful display of Chairing Styles, a unique collaboration of 30 students; 10 Textile Design, 10 Fashion Design and 10 Interior Design. The students are paired in teams of three to create a collaboration and an end product that is quite unique. A Textile Designer creates the textile. A Fashion Designer uses that textile to create a dress. An Interior Designer uses that same textile to design a chair. Some of this year's "Chairing Styles" designs are on display at the FIDM Orange County campus
