For those of you who don’t know, we kicked off a new style destination called FULL FRONTAL FASHION. It’s full of blog posts, videos and photos from the the world of contemporary fashion. Think of this as your FULL FRONTAL FASHION cliff notes.

Rodarte went Tribal during their New York Fashion Week show.

Patrick McMullan had an artsy night out.

Check it. Who’s cooler: NYC or Paris? Read a style debate between NY men and Parisian men. No clear winner has been declared.

See New York Fashion Week from a different angle. We call it FASHION IN PROGRESS.

Lynn Yaeger didn’t make it to Queens for Fashion’s Night Out. Oh well.

As Fashion Week winds down here in the Big Apple and the dust settles many a gay are left talking about what’s happening in fashion. Yes, we gays discuss fashion. I know, shocking.

The press is picking up on a new trend that even I, one of the biggest gays in this oh-so gay town, could not possibly pull off. Bows. Yes, those bows. The ones on Minnie Mouse’s head and your Prom date’s satin pink dress. Those bows.

The Wall Street Journal, a paper not necessarily known for its fashion coverage, had an interesting article recently about the influence bloggers now have over big name fashion designers. Where in recent years political bloggers have received more and more credit and credibility for their writings, and audience numbers, style bloggers not so much. Until now.

Announcing the launch of FULL FRONTAL FASHION, an all new style destination offering insider access to the highly creative world of contemporary fashion. Meet the designers, influencers, artists and trends at the forefront of international style and glamor. FULL FRONTAL FASHION will unveil the craft, creativity and passion of the most authentic artists working in, and around, the world of fashion today.

Rarely is fashion considered purely as an art form — it’s more of a publicity tool, a shopping opportunity or status symbol. Yet, behind the label, in a small warehouse or atelier somewhere, designers put their pens to paper, take a 2-dimensional inspiration and make it a 3-dimensional work of art.

We want to celebrate that process with FULL FRONTAL FASHION — and show all the exciting underpinnings of putting together a collection. We hope to start with inspiration, which as we all know can be anything, and explore construction and ultimately how and why clothing gets sold and worn.

We have gathered a diverse group of creative writers, photographers, artists and stylists to write about their fashion perspective each day on the FULL FRONTAL FASHION blog.

Log On. Tune-In. Buckle Up!

We are pleased to announce that beginning September 9, Sundance Channel will be re-invigorating the critically-acclaimed FULL FRONTAL FASHION franchise. Highlights of the launch will include a content-packed website here on sundancechannel.com which will develop into a stand-alone website by spring 2010.

Timed to launch in conjunction with New York Fashion Week, the new site will offer a sophisticated yet accessible look at the passion, art and drama that epitomizes the world of contemporary fashion. The new site will feature daily commentary from top fashion columnists such as Lynn Yaeger, former Style Editor at the Village Voice, exclusive video and photos from A-list photographer Patrick McMullan, and timely dispatches and images from all over the globe from writers such as Robin Sayers, Aya Kanai, Cator Sparks and Jessica Marati.

In addition to the website, Sundance Channel will support the FULL FRONTAL FASHION initiative on-air with the September 9th premiere of THE DAY BEFORE, a series which goes behind-the-scenes in the final hours leading up to major fashion shows for Sonia Rykiel, Proenza Schouler, Fendi by Karl Lagerfeld, and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Check back soon for the launch of FULL FRONTAL FASHION!

Anyone who is a fashion lover, and really, what good gay isn’t, has been watching Style.com religiously the last month as major fashion weeks have come and gone. The New York Times’ amazing blog The Moment recently spotlighted the men’s fashion week shows in Milan and Paris.

But don’t expect to see the clothes.  Those of us on the outside of the fashion world (which is a much safer place to be btw) rarely, if ever, get to see the elaborate invitations to the runway shows. Not anymore. Blogger Jun Li shows us the best of the invites including an orange hat for DSquared and a message in a bottle from Kenzo.

Meet R.J. Cutler director of THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE, an official selection in the Documentary Competition at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
