Lena Dumham Visits The Breakfast Club

October 5, 2016. Leave a Comment

This is one of the things that’s cool about the current generation, there is more chopping up between people who come from different walks of life. Guaranteed that if a Lena Dunham type had existed ten years ago, she never would have been invited on “The Breakfast Club.” For sure, Charlamagne the God deserves some credit for that. His audience reach is much wider than “The Breakfast Club’s,” plus he is a fan of Dunham’s show “Girls,” which may sound odd, but stacks neatly on top of his fandom of the TV show “Girlfriends.”

In her visit, Dunham discussed a wide range of topics, starting with the need to have security, a concern that was shared by both Charlamagne and DJ Envy, who was involved in an attempted car jack last week. Both Charlamagne and Dunham agreed it’s not appropriate to make jokes about what happened to Kim Kardashian.

Dunham also talked about the end of her series, “Girls,” which will air its sixth and final season in February 2017. Charlamagne said he was a fan of the show, and Dunham said when he tweeted about the show, it was a big positive for viewership. They then debated the fact that”Girls” character Jessa has begun to date Adam on the show and whether or not that was okay from the perspective of girl code.

Naturally the conversation segued into sex, and Dunham said while she was promiscuous as a person in her young 20s, she’s more conservative in real-life than her “Girls” character. They also talked about body image and she added that being viewed as overweight, less attractive and not having a traditional body influenced her decision to show herself naked on the series because she wanted to rep for females who don’t have ideal appearances. Dunham also pointed out that while she is a feminist that doesn’t take away from her wish to be viewed as desirable.

At 26:42, Charlamagne addressed early criticism of “Girls” for lacking black characters and Dunham said while criticisms were valid, she thought it was more important for black women to be given the space to tell their own stories and in the future she would like to collaborate with women of color rather than co-opt their stories.

She also conceded white feminists don’t have have a good track record with supporting black women, adding that while white women may feel like an oppressed minority, there is another layer of issues black women have to deal with that white women sadly aren’t cognizant of.

Earlier this year Dunham got into trouble after attending the Met Ball when she complained in her “Lenny Letter” that table mate Odell Beckham had ignored her, assuming it was because she wasn’t attractive enough, and Charlamagne praised her for apologizing for what she wrote. Dunham said she realized she had unintentionally perpetuated dangerous stereotypes about black male behavior in saying what she did.

The interview closed with Dunham saying she has been attending therapy since seven. When she invited Charlamagne to join her, he said he wanted to try CBT aka cognitive behavior therapy because he believes he overthinks things.

London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Og London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi has provided her first official interview since since presenting her spring 2024 Mowalola collection in London in September. In the exchange with @dazed, Ogunlesi revealed the presentation almost didn't happen because of lack of funding, until Ye aka Kanye West stepped in and covered the cost of the show.

The spring 2024 runway stirred controversy because it included a mini skirt adorned with the flag of Saudia Arabia, which features the Shahada, an Islamic oath. Strict observers of the faith descended on the label's social media feeds where they excoriated the designer for printing the the holy oath on clothing, which has been banned by the Saudi Ministry of Commerce for commercial purposes since 2022. Ogunlesi initially brushed off the criticism but then apologized and took down images of the skirt. 

Ogunlesi was also asked to address Ye's more controversial views, which include a whole host of antisemetic and bigoted statements. "You don’t have to agree with everyone but he’s also been, apart from my parents and my sister and my community, the only person who’s supported me in this business," she explained. "He’s helped me see my dreams come true, and I appreciate that. If not for him, I would lowkey be dead in the water."

The Central Saint Martins graduate also spoke on the ongoing challenges of keeping a small label funded along with her wish to work for a larger label. Highlighting a lead creative role at Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Givenchy and Vivienne Westwood as goal worthy, Ogunlesi pointed out that the industry might not be ready to hire a Black woman to lead a major label. "I’ve never seen any Black woman at the head of any house, and I keep seeing all these diagrams of the history of fashion houses and it’s all white people.

"It feels like it’s already decided that it isn’t a space for a Black woman, you know? I feel like they’re only just testing out the Black man now. The Black woman doesn’t even cross their minds," she said.
U.S.-born stylist and editor Gabriella Karefa-John U.S.-born stylist and editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson has announced she has stepped down from her role as Vogue global contributing editor. She made the news official on Business of Fashion‘s podcast where she stated, “The truth of the matter is we grow and sometimes our containers don’t grow with us. And so I am excited to build a new container for all of these ideas and this energy.” 

Karefa-Johnson’s resignation comes in the midst of layoffs at Condé Nast, which recently announced plans to cut about five percent of its workforce, impacting approximately 270 employees.

Rumors she was no longer with the publication began to circulate back in mid-October when she removed the title Vogue editor from her Instagram profile. During the same period, she took to Instagram Stories where she spoke out against the Israel-Hamas War, describing Israel as an “apartheid state,” adding its attacks on Palestine were the equivalent of “genocide.”

When Vogue was asked to provide feedback on her comments, a spokesperson told the NY Post, “Gabriella’s social media posts and opinions are her own and do not represent those of the company.” At the time, a second, unnamed Vogue source noted that Karefa-Johnson was not a full-time employee at the magazine, noting she was not asked by Vogue parent company Condé Nast to remove Vogue editor from her bio.

On the podcast, Karefa-Johnson seemingly pushed back on speculation she was forced out by Vogue for her stance on the Israel-Hamas war, stating, “I loved and learned so much at Vogue magazine. It’s my home. I grew up there, and I can’t wait to take those tools and apply them in ways that are really just true to who I am and serve me and serve people who look like me and people listen and follow me. It’s really about serving that community now.”

While at Vogue, Karefa-Johnson styled a series of high-profile covers including Paloma Elsesser, Kamala Harris, Serena Williams, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Beiber, among others.
