Nick's Saturn Commercial

While I am digesting last nights episode and preparing to write my recap, I thought I would post about my Saturn Commercial which aired last night. I had such a great time shooting the spot. Not only were the Saturn and Bravo people great to work with, but I had the best time hanging out at DecadesTwo and fawning over all the beautiful gowns! As their bio says, "decadestwo, carries a carefully-edited selection of contemporary clothing and accessories (mostly 1990s to present day) and caters to a clientele seeking a highly unique shopping experience. " Big 'Shout out' to Christos from decadestwo. Thanks for being so accommodating and I will be back to check out more Couture soon!!

Top Chef Apron Now for Sale

CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! Get your Nick Verreos Top Chef Apron and start cookin'!!! I must admit that when Bravo asked me to design the apron, I was surprised, since I don't even cook. But I don't think they knew that! I can make Venezuelan Arepas--the bread of Venezuela--thanks to my mom and Mamaita (my grandma), but that's about it. So for those of you who want to pretend you cook and look good while doing it, here is your perfect apron. It is an alternative to those cheesy old-school ones with the turkey and bread illustrated on it. I think it makes a perfect gift for a "Housewarming" or even for the upcoming Holidays (Listen to me, I sound like I am on QVC pitching these aprons!!!)
I wanted to design something cool, young-looking and colorful--like you could wear it on the Island of Capri while hanging out with Paris Hilton!! Click HERE to order yours now!

Nick Verreos Top Chef Apron

I am very excited to "unveil" the brand-new "Nick Verreos Top Chef Apron". About a month ago, I was asked to design the "Top Chef" apron that would be sold on the Bravo website in conjunction with the debut of Season 2 of "Top Chef".

Initially, I was a bit confused in regards to what "designing" would entail. Was I going to add my infamous fishtails to the apron? Or could I somehow create a bias-cut apron with an asymmetrical hemline? No and No. Thank God. I then decided that I wanted the apron graphics to be fun, colorful and modern. I don't really cook--I order out and I microwave, that's how I cook, and I am embarrassed to say it. However, when designing the apron, I thought of what kind of apron I would wear, when microwavin'! I also thought of all those tacky old-school aprons that our moms would debut while serving the Thanksgiving turkey or that big plate of home-cooked paella. This apron would not be "your mom's old apron". I wanted to design a hip looking apron that you could see in a sexy editorial from a magazine like "Wallpaper".

From the beginning of my design, I always wanted the apron to somehow incorporate a large cutting knife, especially since that is already part of the "Top Chef" logo. At first, I wanted the apron to say "I'm going to CUT you!" , but then I decided that might be, how shall I say this, a bit too mean. So I went for "Chop!". I hope you guys like it and I think it will make a great gift for all those other microwave-cookers as well as real Chefs. Click HERE to read all about it on the Bravotv.com website.
