Sundance Channel Goes Full Frontal Fashion

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:00:22 -0700

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.

FABTV: Stella McCartney and Ed Ruscha, Iconoclasts

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Iconoclast: n. One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions. Can I just say I love Sundance's Iconoclast series. It's in its fourth series and if you indulged in the over-the-top Stylista last night and need a series dose of thinking television, check out tonight's episode where Stella McCartney and artist Ed Ruscha talk art and fashion, fashion and art. Here's a clip where the two are discussing how competitive both their industries are. Stella explains how one must have "survival instincts" in fashion, and really, in both industries, it's all about "selling, selling, selling." Intrigued? Watch tonight on the Sundance channel at 10 p.m.

P.S. I'm also interested in watching the upcoming Iconoclasts of skateboarder Tony Hawk and director Jon Favreau, as well as Cameron Diaz and architect Cameron Sinclair.

On Our Radar: Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton Documentary

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 03:00:22 -0700

Next February, the much buzzed about documentary Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton which follows the designer around his own brand and at Vuitton, will make its U.S. television debut on the Sundance Channel.

The film shows every aspect of the design process, following Marc through New York, Tokyo, and Paris, and has cameo appearances from the likes of Marc muse Sofia Coppola and Vogue editor Anna Wintour. It offers the chance of a lifetime: being able to get to know the venerable MJ and getting an inside view of what he does without actually having to meet him!
