Congratulations to Ellen! It was such a pleasure to have met her and to find out that she ONLY had FIVE weeks to design, and create, the costumes for "Behind The Candelabra". It is with special pleasure to have found out that she had won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Costume Design for a Movie, Miniseries, Special. Needless to say, I had a special kinship to all those sparkles--and the amazing craftsmanship of her designs!

TV Pals: Nick Verreos and KTLA's Gayle Anderson--FIDM Museum "7th Annual Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design" Exhibition 

On Thursday, I was up very early to be in Downtown L.A. at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM--my Alma Mater and College of which I am the Spokesperson for--to film LIVE Morning News TV segments with the one-and-only Gayle Anderson of KTLA 5.

I always have a blast with Gayle and we have filmed many a LIVE segment together so it's always a blast to reunite with "Miss Gayle"! The reason this time, was to talk about the fabulous exhibition at the FIDM Museum & Galleries' 7th Annual Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design.

Several of the "Outstanding Costume Design" Emmy nominated costumes are featured in this exhibition including...

HBO's "Behind The Candelabra", Costumes Designed by Ellen Mirojnick

HBO's "Game of Thrones", Costumes Designed by Michele Clapton

PBS' Masterpiece "Downton Abbey", Costumes Designed by Caroline McCall

In between filming our live segments--as well as afterward, I had some fun with Gayle and her crew, Dave and Patrick. Here are some Pics:
