Kapital Frees Tibet, Trolls, and Bidets

Japanese brand Kapital’s latest Kountry collection created waves in ways they didn’t expect (but probably should’ve) when its “Free Tibet” imagery awakened thousands and thousands of angry comments on Instagram, putting the release in jeopardy. Kapital photographer Eric Kvatek rejoins us to discuss what happened and his own photoshopped response to the incident. We also discuss our fall trend predictions and the origins of Englebert Humperdinck on this week’s episode.
