Podcast. Bella Freud, Icon of the British fashion world.</p><p><br></p><p>Bella Freud's eponymous and instantly recognisable label has come to signify an intellectual playfulness. Bella is a storyteller who uses style as her vehicle. Controversy and innovation are hardwired into her DNA: the artistic trailblazing of her father, the artist Lucian, the psychoanalytic pioneering of her great grandfather Sigmund, are subtly woven through her work.</p><p>Bella’s designs and word jumpers have gained a devoted following. Worn by the likes of Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Keith Richards, Laura Bailey, Salma Hayek, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jane Fonda and Eddie Redmayne, they are the embodiment of her preoccupation with appropriating serious ideas about the subconscious into a playful fashion context.</p><p>By combining Bella Freud’s love of interiors and homeware the brand has expanded to include a range of lifestyle products such as cushions, blankets and rugs. Bella Freud launched her parfum business in 2012 which has grown to include a collection of thirteen candles, six perfumes, candle sets and matches.</p><p>Passionate about cinema, Bella’s fashion film collaborations started in 1991 and include a trio of shorts made with John Malkovich: Strap Hanging (1999), Lady Behave (2000) and Hideous Man (2002). Her most recent film Girl Boils Egg, was directed by Bella and commissioned for Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio in 2013.</p><p>The launch of her first stand-alone boutique in 2015, in the style hub of Marylebone’s Chiltern Street, has seen her knitwear, tailored suits, subversively demure dresses, parfums and homeware gain a cult following.</p><p>&nbsp;Bella was born in London and studied in Rome. After training with Vivienne Westwood, Bella launched her eponymous womenswear label in 1990.</p><p><br></p><p>Bella Freud website : <a href=\"https://bellafreud.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bellafreud.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Bella Freud charity : <a href=\"https://www.hopingfoundation.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.hopingfoundation.org</a></p><p><img src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\"></p><p>Haircuts4Homeless :&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.haircuts4homeless.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.haircuts4homeless.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Produced by :&nbsp;<a href=\"https://svnty6production.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://svnty6production.com/</a></p>","author_name":"Stewart Roberts"}
