Project Runway designer Nick Verreos is in Scottsdale today to launch his new line of Spring dresses, carried exclusively at Dillard’s. The collection features several shape-enhancing dresses in vibrant colors, soft jersey fabrics and the feminine draping that Nick is famous for.
I met Nick yesterday ( he is charming and hysterically funny, by the way! ) and he shared his thoughts on developing this collection and all the details that went into it.
“I wanted to give women the same red carpet style that I’ve done for celebrities at an affordable price point. The dresses are priced from $108 to $168 and they’re all very flattering to a real woman’s figure. One thing I’ve noticed when I’m styling is that even tall, thin models think they have flaws or things they’re not comfortable with about their bodies. I try to emphasize the feminine, bringing things in on the waist and putting the focus on flattering necklines or offering a flirty sleeve that can be worn in a couple of ways for more coverage on the arm. And I love color ! So I always encourage women to take these dresses into the dressing room and just try them on…adding color into your wardrobe just brightens every girl up !”
One of the first things you’ll notice about these dresses is the soft fabrics; every time our model appeared in a new dress, she said “This is so comfortable !”
I loved this little hot pink number; from office to night out in 5 seconds flat !
This was another one of my favorites; see how the sleeves are draped on the shoulder ?
You can also wear it like this so it’s not so bare in the underarm area… genuis !!
This is Nick, posing with my lovely daughter Gabriele, who is definitely not 6 feet tall. She loved this dress because she’s a little self-conscious right now after having her baby. I think she looks amazing, but we girls are so hard on ourselves sometimes, aren’t we ?
Geez Louise. I’d kill to look like that again…
If you can make it to Dillard’s today, Nick will be hosting a fashion show, offering his unique brand of styling tips straight from the red carpet and undoubtedly completely entertaining you with his sparkly, funny self.
He’s like a bright ray of sunshine that will have you giggling like a schoolgirl as soon as you meet him, cross my heart and hope to die.
He’ll be upstairs in the dress department from 2 to 3:30 today at Dillard’s in Scottsdale Fashion Square. Some lucky girl is going to win a personalized styling session with Nick including a Nick Verreos dress and accessories, (a handbag and shoes ) from Dillard’s. That drawing takes place at 3 p.m.
I hope it’s you !
