Nick Cave is an Australian musician, writer, artist and rock star. He is the instantly recognisable lead singer of The Bad Seeds which he formed in 1983 after the breakup of his former band The Birthday Party. Describing himself as wanting to look like a ‘big old spider’, he has a dazzling stage presence, framed by jet black hair, with a tall, long-legged silhouette. Nick maintains the loyalty and adulation of both indie fans and the mainstream; people are proud to show their love of his music. He has endured deep tragedy in his life, something he has written about in his blog The Red Hand Files. He is married to the designer and model Susie Cave, who is the subject of many of his songs. In this episode of Fashion Neurosis, Nick Cave and Bella Freud discuss how chaos is the enemy of creativity, the exhilaration of cold water swimming, and how an ankle boot is a deal breaker.
