Lungi or not lungi

According to India's DailyHunt, it seems the Indians are expecting the Brits, thanks to Zara, to bring the seldom worn lungi back into fashion in there. Maybe somewhat tongue in cheek, but I thought "never mind, great that Zara are being progressive, even if it doesn't make it's way back to India".
Sadly, it turns out that they appear to have appropriated this traditional male Asian garment for women, but bizarrely re-branding it as a "check mini skirt", which, at not far off ankle length, I would have thought it was anything but mini. Priced at £69.99 I, and many others judging by the flack they are getting, will not be rushing to buy one.
