Bella Freud is een Britse mode-ontwerper met een zeer beroemde achternaam (haar vader is kunstenaar Lucien en haar overgrootvader is Sigmund Freud). In haar podcast Fashion Neurosis legt ze beroemde gasten letterlijk op de sofa om over hun relatie met kleding te praten. Wat is je vroegste mode-herinnering, wat trek je aan op een baaldag, dat soort dingen. Freud heeft een wat slome manier van praten, dat is even wennen. Maar de gasten zijn echte A-listers, zoals schrijver Zadie Smith, zanger Nick Cave en actrice Julianne Moore. Uit de gesprekken blijkt eens te meer dat het concept ‘zomaar iets aantrekken’ niet bestaat.
Each week join the renowned fashion designer Bella Freud as she invites a special guest to ‘lie on the couch’ and explore the connection between fashion and identity. Bella’s conversations begin with questions about style and what we reveal through the clothes we wear. Bella also shares her own anecdotes and the conversations expand into deeper discussions on life’s universal themes—love, identity, culture, anxiousness, and even politics.
Through a series of tailored questions, Bella creates a relaxed, intimate atmosphere where her guests—ranging from fashion icons to cultural figures in sport, art, music and literature reveal more about themselves than they might expect. Fashion is often dismissed as superficial, but in this podcast, it becomes the lens through which we examine our inner lives, relationships, and society.
From Kate Moss to other notable guests, Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud offers a unique, thoughtful, and engaging conversation that goes far beyond what we wear: diving into the unspoken language of clothing and the ways in which we use style to navigate and communicate in the world.
