Fashion Design Co-Chairs Introduce Voting Campaign

Vote! It’s in Fashion! is FIDM’s nonpartisan campaign to encourage students and the public to vote. Led by Fashion Design Co-Chairs, Nick Verreos and David Paul, the campaign is a timely and stylish reminder that the 2020 election on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 is less than two weeks away.

"Since our students are studying online, at home, we wanted a fun way to remind them to vote … and as a college that teaches Fashion Design, among other subjects, we naturally think it's always ‘in fashion’ to vote,” said FIDM Vice President of Education Barbara Bundy. “Plus, among our students are those who just turned 18 and are excited to vote for the first time.”

Bundy added: “By coincidence, FIDM’s Co-Chairs of Fashion Design, Nick Verreos and David Paul, were inspired by this ‘voting season’ to design a red carpet gown, with the word VOTE in giant rhinestones across the front. This was created for their red carpet label, NIKOLAKI and was initially shown on KTLA TV’s Emmy special. With this inspiration … serendipity entered the vote campaign thinking at FIDM!”

LA Cityview TV/Channel 35 visited the campus earlier this week and interviewed Nick Verreos for a special segment, which you can watch here.
