FIDM MUSEUM.....Filming International Press segments for the "22nd Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design" Exhibition

Nick Verreos--filming interviews with international press at FIDM Museum's 22nd Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition

In the lead up to Sunday night's 86th Annual Academy Awards, as the Official Spokesperson for my Alma Mater, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM, I had the pleasure of filming many interviews with the international press at the FIDM Museum's "22nd Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition". 

It seems EVERYONE was interested in not just the Oscars Red Carpet Fashion but also the COSTUMES of the Academy Awards-nominated films. Now, speaking of the Costumes, time to congratulate the Winner of the Costume Design Academy Award...
