Famed for opening out beauty norms on TikTok, she’s developed an intimate relationship with her audience, while also maintaining her privacy.

A new capsule with HUGO represents yet another pivotal experience for this creative all-rounder. Fusing visual arts, fashion and music, Bella Poarch controls all tenets of youth culture – and she’s only just beginning.

Meeting Bella during her whirlwind trip to London, Clash attempts to unpick her story, learning from her patience discourse on insouciant imagination in the process.
