Bellas: NIKOLAKI by Nick Verreos & David Paul--Vanidades "Magia de la Moda" 2013 Fashion Show, Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach
Last week, I flew to Miami, along with my NIKOLAKI Co-Designer David Paul, to show a 30+ collection at the Vanidades Presents "Magia de la Moda (The Magic of Fashion) 2013" Fashion Show as part of Miami Beach's Funkshion Fashion Week...
I was invited by Vanidades Magazine to show our NIKOLAKI designs at this fabulous event, along with Venezuelan fashion designer Nicolas Felizola, Vanidades Icon of Style 2013. David and I flew in from Los Angeles (I was actually in Las Vegas judging the "Battle of the Strands" 2013 Finals and flew into LAX to meet up with David to then fly to Miami).

Once in Miami, after checking in and getting a good night's rest, we looked at the GORGEOUS Miami Beach and breathed a sigh of "Nice Beach, we'd love to lay out but...we've got work to do!". The day prior to our fashion show, we had all-day fittings at the Funkshion Fashion Week headquarters:
