Eric Cantona

Eric Cantona

Author: Bella Freud October 9, 2024 Duration: 56:53
Eric Cantona is the legendary French former professional footballer who played for Manchester United, retiring unexpectedly and to everyone’s dismay at the height of his success aged 30. He wore the iconic number 7 shirt with the collar turned up – something he turned into a trade mark look. Eric Cantona is revered and admired for his cryptic brilliance and his unpredictable approach to a direct question, as well as his winning game. In this episode of Fashion Neurosis Bella asks him about this upturned collar and how it came about; how he deals with restlessness, and why the way someone dresses overrides conventional ideas about attractiveness. Tune in to episode two of Fashion Neurosis to watch Eric Cantona on the couch as you have never seen him before. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud, the iconic designer turns her studio into something closer to a therapist's office. Every episode, a guest settles in for a conversation that starts with the fabric of our lives-literally. Bella Freud guides discussions that pick apart why we wear what we do, treating a wardrobe choice not as a trivial concern but as a window into our deeper selves. These aren't typical interviews about trends; they're meandering, personal explorations. You’ll hear stories about the power of a specific scent, the armor of a well-cut jacket, or the nostalgia tied to a childhood uniform. Naturally, the dialogue in this podcast often spirals into much broader territory, touching on the anxieties, cultural shifts, and personal histories that shape us. Freud shares her own vivid anecdotes generously, creating a space where fashion becomes the starting point for talking about everything from love and politics to the very construction of identity. The result is a series of intimate, sometimes surprising dialogues that reveal how the things we put on our bodies are inextricably linked to what’s happening in our minds and in the world around us.
