Bella Freud, also known as the knitwear designer of dreams, has launched a capsule collection to raise money for the refugee crisis. Reason 1,656 to invest in one of her delectable jumpers.
The range of T-shirts and jumpers all feature the words "I've got refugenes" - a reference to the contributions of refugees and their families to British society. The sweatshirts cost £35, while the T-shirts are £19 and available to buy here.
Freud also features in a video explaining how their family escaped persecution in Nazi Germany to start a new life in the UK. The family - from her father, the legendary artist Lucien Freud to her great grandfather psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud - have since made a great impact in art, science, medicine, literature and fashion.
The collection is part of a wider campaign entitled Refugenes. Other high-profile supporters include Rita Ora and Elisa Sednaoui.
HOW YOU CAN HELP THE REFUGEE CRISIS NOW
In other Freud news, the designer opens a pop-up shop today in Fenwick on London's Bond Street - a mini version of her newly-opened Chiltern Street store. The space will also sell Freud's latest fragrance, Close To My Heart.
"A pop-up shop is a fun opportunity to play and experiment with the brand, making special new things which lead into new ideas for the collections," Freud told us. The pop-up at Fenwick of Bond Street is a mini Bella Freud world. I love the idea of such an iconic department store having a true representation of what I'm inspired by."
