She is an adventuress, the more remote the destination the better. She’s recently been reading about the relationship between the left brain and the right brain, logic versus imagination. “New experiences fire up your right brain, so travel has always been the most important thing for me, for creative reasons,” she says. “Not thinking basically, just doing.” And feeling too. Ffrench was surprised how emotional she found the purity of her experience on the steppes. She claims she did a lot of crying.
Maybe that’s because the nomadic spirit touched her soul. In the decade since Ffrench’s first appointment (as beauty editor of i-D magazine), she has variously been a brand ambassador for YSL Beauty and Christian Louboutin Beauté, a creative artist consultant for Tom Ford Beauty, creative director at Dazed Beauty, Byredo and Burberry Beauty, and beauty curator at Off-White.
