I love Seattle. Let’s just get that out of the way. I grew up near San Francisco and Seattle reminds of that city. It’s natural air conditioning, its postcard perfect sights. The Pike Place Market is like “Fisherman’s Wharf”. I could go on. In the past I have been invited to make appearances and lecture at Seattle’s International Academy of Design and Technology (IADT), one of the newest design schools in the country devoted to teaching fashion design and merchandising as well as graphic design and other related courses to the Pacific Northwest designers of tomorrow.

Several weeks ago, I was invited back to IADT, Seattle. But this time, I was not alone. My Project Runway buddy, designer Andrae Gonzalo, joined me. Little did we know, it was to be the “Nick & Andrae Show: Live from Seattle”. I flew directly from St. Louis Missouri, where I was hosting the first ever St. Louis Fashion Week, and I was working on only four hours of sleep (the gala event/fashion show had occurred the night before) and I was still reeling from the 95 degree weather with 98% humidity! I was tired and not feeling too pretty. Upon arrival into Seattle, the pilot said, “current Seattle weather is a cool 65 Degrees”, I almost broke into a song-and-dance number Bob Fosse would be proud of!
