UNDER THE GUNN.....Nick's Looks Fashion Style Photo Gallery of the "Superhero Fashion" Episode + "Benefit Cosmetics Captain" and Superhero Blowpro Hair

Printed Nick: Tim Gunn and Nick Verreos on Episode 12 "Superhero Fashion" Project Runway: Under The Gunn

Time for my "Nick's Looks" STYLE BLOG of what I wore during this past episode of Lifetime's Project Runway: Under The Gunn. In case you missed my "Nick's Take"/Inside Dish blog, you can click HERE for that. This past episode was all about designing a look inspired by a Marvel Comics Superhero.

And yes, in case you might have forgotten Tim Gunn was featured in a special edition of Marvel Comics with "Iron Man" about five years ago back in 2009.

For the "Introduction" of the challenge at the Meltdown Comics and Collectibles store, I wore my light blue dress shirt from H & M, black skinny pants from Zara, a printed jacket by Topman, and a lace pocket hankie and black bow tie from my dad--yes, my dad. Vintage 1960's from his days as a US State Department Foreign Service Officer.

Benefit Traveler: While on a filming break, I ventured into the Benefit Cosmetics "Pretty Room" and found this pink suitcase and pink "Captain's sailor hat". Naturally, I had to pose and take a photo.

Benefit Cosmetics Pretty Room--Project Runway: Under The Gunn

It was all too cheeky and screaming for me to make a photo-op out of it. If Benefit Cosmetics had an airline and they needed someone to play the Captain--or Flight Attendant--yep...it would be me!

Runway Day: Nick Verreos and Oscar Garcia-Lopez on Project Runway: Under The Gunn

For "Runway Day", I wore a bright blue velvet tuxedo jacket by Noose & Monkey, my skinny back trousers from Zara, white dress shirt from Topman, and printed silk pocket scarf from Etro. And my favorite black YSL Johnny Boots. Since this was the penultimate (pre-Finale) "Under The Gunn" Runway, I wanted to look nice for it--especially if I might be out. Who knows?

Nick and Marcus: I even got to take a photo with cutie Makeup artist Marcus who assisted in the "Benefit Cosmetics Pretty Room" with my blue velvet tuxedo jacket ensemble. Marcus was always so sweet and well, he could be my younger bearded brother--or sistah!



Hair Did:

Gregory Patterson and his Blopro hair team work this model's hair...she was Sam's model and eventually it was going to look like this:

As part of the "Under The Gunn" Intro of the show, we--the mentors--had to dress ourselves (well, we dressed ourselves for the entire show, thank you very much!). But being that we had to film the Intro's, we had to dress "extra" special. My co-mentor Anya Ayoung-Chee, the former Miss Trinidad & Tobago Universe and Season 9 Project Runway Winner, asked me to bring one of my NIKOLAKI sparkling cocktail dresses for her to wear. Naturally, I was more than happy...

Every week I will try and do a "Nick's Looks" Fashion Take and show you what I wore--all bought and not borrowed--and all styled by my partner-for-life and NIKOLAKI/NV Nick Verreos co-designer David Paul. David worked as a Wardrobe Stylist, Costumer on many TV shows, films and commercials for NBC, MTV, ABC, etc. so I was happy I had him to style me for the show!



Here's my "Nick's Looks" for this week's "Premiere/Episode 1":

Nick Verreos--Episode 1: Topman, Etro and YSL

My blue sateen jacket with black shawl collar, my skinny black trousers and skinny black tie were from Topman, and my silk printed pocket hankie/scarf was from Etro. My boots are YSL "Johnny Boots"

 Nick Verreos--Episode 1: Zara, Etro and YSL

For the Mentor Picking session of Episode 1, I wore my favorite pinstripe double-breasted jacket as well as denim skinny jeans, both from Zara. The lavender dress shirt is from H&M and pocket scarf from Etro. My chocolate brown boots are YSL "Johnny Boots".

RUNWAY REPORT.....Fall 2014 Menswear Fashion Week, London: Topman Design, Photos + Runway Video

 Xtra Large: Topman Design Fall 2014--London Menswear Fashion Week Fall 2014

Fall 2014 Menswear Fashion Week has begun and first up it's London...Let's start with Topman Design:



The Look: Punk-meets-dockyard working boys, fisherman knits, lots of rain and dreary weather ahead in Fall 2014 so...get ready--style wise--for it, if Topman design director Gordon Richardson has his way. I love Topman and well, half my closet is from there. With that said, not sure how I would incorporate--or wear--any of these items--but then again, I may not be the "market". And yes, I'm sure at the store, these items will get re-merchandized and look a tad bit different and at the same time, there will be lots of other garments to keep a loyal customer (me) happy.



Colors: Black, navy, baby blue, tomato red



Trends: Oversized coats, jackets, high-waisted pleated pants a la 1940's, chunky footwear, heavy knitwear/sweaters
