Hi, come in.
Welcome to Fashion Neurosis, Charli XCX. Thanks for having me, Bella. Can you tell me what you're wearing today and why you chose these particular clothes?
Well, today we're sort of coming off like a major heat wave in London. And nobody really has AC here. So you've really got to like dress warmly. for that and you got to be like prepared um to kind of be getting a bit hot and flustered so my um clothing choices for this past week have really been based around weather in London um but I wanted to just be I don't know like comfortable as i'm like lying on your beautiful sofa feel relaxed we've also been talking a lot about like the angle oops and like how that works with clothes and things like that so yeah I I just I went for something easy my like Levi's and some old like uh vintage guest shoes and this holy t-shirt yeah I love those studded shoes they're fun aren't they yeah they're really good I don't oh
Yeah, they're cute. Also, I love wearing a heel that is actually so comfortable to run around in. And this is exactly what these shoes are.
Yeah, they're great. Elegant too. Thanks. And you're a superstar in the world of music, film and fashion. And as well as a new music style, you've created a way of using clothes as part of your performance that has captivated an audience of young kids and ex-punks like me. And in 2025, you headlined Glastonbury and won the Ivor Novello Songwriter of the Year. You've been on the cover of Vogue. You're not one to rest on your laurels. And I wondered where your restlessness comes from.
Great question. It's interesting. I think my restlessness, first of all, comes from just this innate passion to always be making something. I feel really, really lucky that I... get to make things all the time. And to be honest, I don't really have hobbies, you know, outside of what I do. Like my dream day is either kind of being in the studio, making a song or making something with friends of mine or watching back-to-back films or talking about films that we've seen, you know, I just, I don't like to sit still and sort of switch off that side of my brain because then I get bored. You know, I feel so enthralled by engaging with people art and different kinds of art and artists that I just want to do it all the time so I think in part it's that and then in part it's I don't really know what I would do if I wasn't doing that you know like I think engaging in making things brings me so much joy to the point where it's like you know it's like I do what I do to kind of like in a way
fight off my depression and stay alive you know it's like it's my first love in my life over anything else and I take that really seriously because I know that making things that actually is really healing for me and my kind of inner voice which sometimes is running haywire um and I think there is also coupled with that there is probably like an element of like running from the silence if I'm being real you know um maybe I do need to kind of like practice stopping and sitting in that kind of
a more calm state but that is something I'm definitely out of practice in I don't know I feel I mean I really relate to what you're saying and I find that calm space in the middle of like in the eye of the storm so I find it more stressful to be trying out the calm thing
Yeah, I agree with you. I think I've done it before where, you know, once you push through that sort of two-week mark, you can kind of like sink into it, or me at least, I can.
