Now, for the second season, the Sundance Channel is giving viewers the ultimate in insider access with their original documentary series, The Day Before.
The films are directed by Loïc Prigent. Prigent also directed Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton, and Signe Chanel, and is a contributor to French Vogue.
The six-part series follows Alexander Wang, Jeremy Scott, Nina Ricci, Versace, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Narciso Rodriguez in the 36 hours leading up to their runway debuts.
The director – who followed Sonia Rykiel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Proenza Schouler, and Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi last season – captivates with glimpses of model fittings, Anna Wintour drop-ins, stylist meetings, seating chart dilemmas, staff breakdowns, delivery and fit dramas, and much more.
It’s incredible to see all the work that goes into putting on these intricately planned 15 minute shows, and how designers and their teams deal with the stress of all the months of preparation. Each designer has his or her own unique energy, style of working, and way of dealing with last minute panic.
