Bella Freud, daughter of Lucian Freud and great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud, carved her niche in fashion with wit and intellect. Mentored by Vivienne Westwood, she launched her label in 1990, gaining attention for her cultural references, most notably the 'Ginsberg is God' jumper worn by Kate Moss. “Hi, come in,” Bella Freud says at the start of each episode of her ‘Fashion Neurosis’ podcast. With this line, she ushers the guest into her living room, and the setting goes beyond comfortable. The feeling of safe, intimate, and open conversation mirrors a psychoanalytic session.

A great-granddaughter of Sigmund—and a child of Lucian—has had a lot to unpack. She’s working through it, mesmerizingly, on “Fashion Neurosis.”
