Habillées, or Dressed, is a six-part web series by Full Frontal Fashion that uncovers the madness that is fashion. It was filmed during the Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer '10 fashion weeks in New York, Paris, and Milan. Part one, "Habillées Pour L'ete 2010" ("Dressed Up For Summer 2010"), follows newer talents like Proenza Schouler, Joseph Altazurra, Jason Wu, Thakoon, and more in New York City. Then in Paris, French fashion journalist Mademoiselle Agnès catches as many runway shows as possible. Experience part one below, then check out the remaining five parts.
Sundance Channel Goes Full Frontal Fashion
I was bummed when Full Frontal Fashion, a fashion program focusing on New York Fashion Week, was canceled back in January. Now there's some light at the end of the tunnel — the Sundance Channel is reviving it in its own way. "For us, it’s not about the trendy — it’s just about this dramatic, entertaining and, above all, creative perspective," said general manager Sarah Barnett. Expect a mix of original television programming and Web content.
The Day Before is a four-part series that follows four designers — Sonia Rykiel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi, and Proenza Schouler — in the 36 hours preceding their shows. As for the website, which launches Sept. 1, here's what you'll see: Patrick McMullan's video reports and a photo diary from the collections, and contributions from Lynn Yaeger, former Teen Vogue and Nylon fashion editor Aya Kanai, and Los Angeles Times editor Robin Sayers. The site will also feature a video and photo exhibition of the work of Bruce Weber.
