A London and Los Angeles based filmmaker, writer, poet and photographer, Amanda Eliasch was born in Beirut and is a regular on any “most invited list”. She has two sons with the businessman Johan Eliasch, has been celebrated by The Telegraph for creating a home on Cheyne Walk that would be “suitable for Christian Grey or Anastasia Steele” and is a lady who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. As examples, on her Rats’ Tails blog, Eliasch has variously suggested estate agents could be “the new Dodo”, condemned Vivienne Westwood for her “attack on Great Britain” during the Scottish independence referendum and described computers as “no more than dishwashers”. This cultured delight has over 10,000 followers on Twitter.
