Everywoman

Available for over a year

The latest Western fashion craze is for henna painting and bindi-wearing. How do Indians feel about their culture being appropriated and can cross-cultural fashion work? Also on the programme: Singer and songwriter Suzanne Vega talks about her work with the street children of Latin America. And as the Hugh Grant film Notting Hill gets its world premier, one older Notting Hill resident describes its much less salubrious past.
