Nick Cave

Nick Cave joins Bella Freud on Fashion Neurosis to discuss the intersection of personal style, creative discipline, and life experiences. Cave describes his consistent uniform of Bella Freud suits, shirts by AJ, and Gucci shoes, reflecting his preference for order and aversion to change. He recounts a childhood memory of coveted but itchy woolen flares and the school dance incident that ensued. Cave also reflects on his mother's unwavering support and his father's flamboyant style, noting the influence of 70s fashion on his look. The conversation shifts to Cave's past drug addiction, his creative work ethic learned from painters, and his evolving perspective on the importance of art relative to personal relationships, particularly his transformative relationship with Susie.
