    To be Lucian Freud’s daughter and Sigmund Freud’s granddaughter is a whole other level of nepotism baby that transcends the term itself.
  • @ChrissyFraser
    I’ve never heard of this lady, but I could literally just hear her talk all day because she’s so interesting and who doesn’t love an accent, of course
  • @Jean_Genie
    Wow what a family lineage...I like how she's carved out her own aesthetic though
  • @nubianfx
    i absolutely love seeing designers homes and hearing them talk about items and experiences. theyre so unique and often quirky... its great. you can see theyre true creatives..
  • @arshbehal6312
    She is a genius. Her eye for things - it's magic. And the things that she feels, the depth in that understanding of them, a very, very rare quality.
  • The cadence, the crystal clear but druggy monotone of her voice combined with her magnificent poker face makes her seem so sinister and creepy. I find her mesmerising, no matter how banal the monologue or anecdote. I'm interested in a bit of whimsy swirled into female menace mixed with great tailoring. I wish her great granddad were around to help me with this...
  • @sugarbomb26
    I could listen to her all day long. Her talk is like a lullaby.
  • @rgs6236
    She is incredibly calming and gentle 😊
  • @nostalgic-one
    She reminds me so much of Charlotte Gainsbourg and they also seem to have very similar tastes, they could get along well.
  • @stevemiller7949
    Confidence, nonchalance, individuality. That's what I see and it's stunning. 😂😂❤
  • @BelleTolles
    Lovely voice -- and the pale blue suit is exactly as she describes it to be. And that isn't just any pale blue, which is what makes it so striking.
  • that was fantastic! Like Christina commented earlier, she is so easy to listen to and I love her objects of affection.
  • @belindam3797
    What a fabulous person Bella Freud is- she has a fantastic eye and her design choices are so offbeat.
  • Best story I've heard in a bloody long time, these spaces are dripping in sensational heritage / classic artfully irreverent, but to sit in that armchair without smoking... I must protest
  • @knitwearqueen
    What a gorgeous woman! I loved hearing the story of how the drawing of her name with the whippet came about 🥰
  • I have just officially fallen in love with Bella Freud this morning she is brilliant ❤
  • @simplyagirl
    What a joy watching this was. Honestly. Lovely human.
  • @ssakuurita
    It's so lovely to head about her relationship with her father, it melts my heart 🩷 also her style is so impeccable, you can really see that is not an obsession what she has for suits, it's pure love 🩷
