1:12Hi, my name is Bella Freud. I'm a fashion designer and the host of Fashion Neurosis. I've worked in the fashion business since the 90s, and I've witnessed incredible feats of triumph over adversity and heard hilarious and fascinating stories. I love to explore the connection between fashion and identity and how clothes can be a trigger for significant memories. Fashion is often dismissed as superficial but in this podcast it becomes the lens through which we examine our inner lives, relationships and society. Each week on Fashion Neurosis, I interview highly creative people in the world of fashion, film, art, literature and music.

1:55My guest lies on the couch and I sit in a chair like an analyst. Well, someone had to do it and I thought it would be me. I ask questions, quite simple things that revolve around how we reveal or hide things through what we wear. How we do or don't draw attention to ourselves. If you fancy someone but don't like what they're wearing, does it kill your attraction to them? My guests range from fashion icons Rick Owens and Kate Moss to football legend Eric Cantona. Please join me to listen to their insights, faux pas and turn-ons and offs. This is Fashion Neurosis with me, Bella Freud. Listen to Fashion Neurosis wherever you get your podcasts.
