Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud
Acclaimed British fashion designer Bella Freud is challenging the perceptions about the fashion industry. With the desire to dispel the common belief that the industry is facile and one-dimensional, she created Fashion Neurosis. This filmed podcast contains thoughtful conversations in a relaxed and cosy room where, every week, the host—sitting in an ‘analyst’s’ chair—invites a special guest to ‘lie on the couch’ and answer questions about fashion and identity. From style icons to cultural figures in sports, art, music and literature, some of the guests include Rick Owens, Kate Moss and Jonathan Anderson.

The award-winning podcast explores theories, concepts and the history of the fashion world—from why women’s pockets are usually fake or too small to a mini-series (American Ivy) about the ever-returning preppy trend. Episodes range between 20 minutes to over an hour.
