Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud · Leïla Slimani · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

And I come from a country, Morocco, where it's very different.

Because in Morocco, women like the idea of putting a lot of effort in being beautiful.

You spend hours in the salon and then you will wear the caftan and all the jewelry.

So it takes a lot of time, a lot of effort.

And I couldn't understand exactly how it worked for a Parisian woman.

And I felt very out of place and non-fashionable and stupid.

And I remember when I arrived, I went to a vintage shop because I didn't have a lot of money.

And I bought very colorful and eccentric clothes.

And I was very lonely.

So my idea was just to wear the clothes, pink ones and very 70s, 60s, and just to walk on the boulevard because I knew that I was visible.

I was exotic.

The way I looked was not at all like in Morocco because in Morocco, I'm just Moroccan.

I'm very average.

But in France, people would look at me.

And I like that.

Actually, I like being looked at by people, being visible.

You know, I'm going to be very honest with you.

I've always known it will happen.

It was not a surprise for me.

When I was very young, I knew that something would happen for me, that I had something.
