Bella Freud

Bella Freud is a British designer who founded her eponymous label in 1990. Working across fashion, interiors, perfumery, filmmaking, and publishing, she is known for her intelligent yet playful approach, distilling emotion and weaving personal narratives throughout her collections. Her iconic Word sweaters, such as Ginsberg is God and 1970, have become contemporary classics and are worn by a devoted global following, including Rosamund Pike, Rashida Jones, Alexa Chung, Kate Moss, and Rebecca Ferguson. Bella’s work includes collaborations across disciplines, including projects with Marks & Spencer, King & McGaw, Nick Cave, and filmmaker John Malkovich. In October 2024, she launched Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud, a podcast exploring the relationship between fashion and identity through deeply personal conversations, set in the intimate environment of Bella’s sitting room. The series quickly reached number one in the UK arts podcast charts and the top ten globally, and has featured leading cultural figures from fashion, film, music, and literature.
