Man Repeller
Listen now
Description
Hannah and Maia unpack the horrors of the feminist fashion world and its posterchild, Leandra Medine (founder of Man Repeller). Was Man Repeller's demise really a death rattle for the girlboss, post-feminism era? Or was this just a blip in the timeline? Join us as we digress about Moonlight v. La La Land, whether emo and Abercrombie could ever be bedfellows, 5000 different pronunciations of Tavi Gevinson's name (and the Dhoom movies), and a fun game of spot the difference with a pair black fishnet tights.
