Lena Dunham's Too Much, Prada's sandal scandal and South Asia's influence on fashion
from Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud
Just like 'Girls', Lena Dunham draws on her real life for the new romantic comedy 'Too Much,' this time set in London, U.K. Kathryn Van Arendonk and Hanna Flint join Elamin Abdelmahmoud to talk about this transatlantic comedy, and whether it fixes some of what was wrong with 'Girls.' Plus, Prada recently apologized after its runway models wore sandals that looked like traditional Indian Kolhapuri sandals without acknowledging the footwear’s origins. Joyita Sengupta talks with Elamin Abdelmahmoud about how Prada’s “sandal scandal” reflects a long history of South Asian fashion being appropriated by the west.
