Despite some major competition—a Chanel dinner and an opulent Hermes store opening—the Sundance Channel managed to pull off one of the earliest successes of this season’s New York Fashion Week with last night’s Full Frontal Fashion party. Held at the so-new-it’s-not-even-named space adjacent to the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel, the event marked the launch of Fff’s new webisode series, “Catwalk Countdown,” which follows a handful of New York designers as they prepare for the season. Whether it was curiosity about the space—a swimming pool in a bar/lounge?—or a wicked case of cabin studio fever, most of the featured designers sacrificed some of their precious last-minute prep time to make an appearance. Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai,...

American TV star Robert Verdi has won his two-year legal battle against a fashion editor over an unpaid loan.
The Full Frontal Fashion host loaned $5,000 (£3,333) to Details magazine style director Michael Macko in 2007.
In August, Verdi filed suit against Macko in a small-claims court after receiving only one $500 (£333) payment.
Macko, who did not show at the hearing, was ordered to pay Verdi $4,500 (£3,000) plus interest and court costs.
Verdi's lawyer tells the New York Post, "It is our hope that Michael Macko will honor the judgment of the court and pay the debt which he has admitted to owing."
Macko had no comment as WENN went to press.
