Every week, new videos are on YouTube from my fun Look TV show. The videos, titled "Design School With Nick Verreos", "The Nick Fix" and "Nick's Tricks" involve my unique, instructional, and yes, fun way of Design Schooling, sketching, pattern-making, creating mood boards, etc. as well as giving styling tips-on-a-budget using the FABULOUS FIDM Scholarship Store...

The first new Look TV "Design School With Nick" video I want to highlight is "How To Properly Shade Fashion Illustrations"--To show you SHADING examples, here are some of my own original sketches--for my NV NICK VERREOS dress line--which show various shading techniques on fashion illustrations (skin shading, gathering shading, etc.):

Next, is a fun Look TV "The Nick Fix" video in which I help Alexandrea--a just-about-to-graduate Interior Design student from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM find the perfect outfit for a wedding in which she will be the Maid of Honor. We shopped at the FIDM Scholarship Store in Downtown L.A. and then, I helped her make the outfit unique and oh-so-chic.
