Beauty muse Fanny Bourdette-Donon on her globally inspired routine.
“EVERYBODY KNOWS FANNY,” someone once told me about Fanny Bourdette-Donon. And it’s true: As Dior Beauty’s international PR and special projects manager, BourdetteDonon has made knowing people like Jorja Smith, Kitty Cash, Yoon Ahn, and Bella Hadid into a career. Born in Hyères, France, Bourdette-Donon spent her childhood and teen years in Africa, studied law in Nice, and now calls Paris home. “My approach to beauty today is a big mix of everything that I’ve learned from all the travel I’ve done,” she says. “Staying in one place for too long is really tough on me. I feel like I am dying if I’m not learning from someone else.”
