“Yasmine makes the sexiest, most low-key underwear, it is addictive. It is overt and demure, irresistible,” Bella Freud tells us, explaining the alluring work of her close friend, lingerie designer Yasmine Eslami.

Having first met while working in the studio at Vivienne Westwood, the two instantly bonded and have been the tightest of friends ever since. Now, the duo have joined forces for a special capsule collaboration exploring a London meets Paris friendship. Taking inspiration from Serge Gainsbourg meets Roxy Music (two enduring points of inspiration for Freud), the collab includes a tote, a two piece lingerie set in pink tulle with leaf green trim and a classic Bella ‘word’ knit inscribed with the word ‘love’, proving that, despite a looming Brexit, the creative bond between Paris and London is as strong as ever.
