A couple of weeks back, during the 2014 Oscars week, I had the pleasure--and honor--of filming a special "Red Carpet Trends and Preview" segment at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and FIDM Museum using several of my NIKOLAKI Fall 2014 gowns for Britain's ITV Network.

ITV Entertainment Correspondent Ross King for ITV's "Daybreak" and "Lorraine" TV shows, interviewed me on what the possible Oscars 2014 Red Carpet trends would be and I showed him via my fabulous gowns. I have filmed segments with Ross before and he is so affable, so charming and very professional. And need I add, a dandy in the style department!

This past Friday, I had the honor and opportunity--along with my co-designer David Paul--to showcase our NIKOLAKI Fall 2014 Red Carpet Gowns Collection at a special party to kick off the 2014 Los Angeles Democratic Convention. The party was held at Grand Hope Park, adjacent to the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM Downtown L.A. campus. The event/party organizers were big fans of my designs and "Project Runway" and thought what better way to showcase the fact that LA and Hollywood is a Red Carpet Town by giving the guests of the party a little fashion show!

Under The Gunn Model Reunion: (L to R) Aleksandra Rastovic, Leslie Allen, Nick Verreos, Tylynn Nguyen, Janica de Guzman, Amanda Fields and Bianca Palmerin--While backstage getting the models in our NIKOLAKI gowns, I suddenly realized that LOTS of them--the majority--were "Project Runway: Under The Gunn" model alumni; in other words, they were/are on the show! So you know I had to get an "Under The Gunn" model pic
