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!
