Fashion Neurosis Live with Guest Laurie Anderson

Bella Freud

333 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10011, United States

Bella Freud’s podcast Fashion Neurosis is everything TikTok culture is not: slow, deeply researched, personal. The daughter of Lucian Freud and the great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud, Bella was born into a highly analytical and certainly well-connected world. A British queen of cool, she’s also a fashion designer with an impeccable reputation. Bella invites each guest to lie on the couch and talk about their personal life, their relationship to clothing. The guests themselves are well curated, a list clearly not pitched by publicists but chosen by Freud herself: Thom Browne, David Byrne, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Helena Bonham Carter, FKA Twigs, Rosalia, the list goes on. For the Tribeca Film Festival, Freud is bringing the show to New York for a live recording with the legendary Laurie Anderson, whose life as a singer, artist, and longtime partner to Lou Reed should make for a fabulous conversation. —Jeanne Malle
