Mastermind Magazine IMANE KHELIF - DON’T BACK DOWN 2026

Description

This portrait of Imane Khelif was created for the Mastermind Magazine project titled IMANE KHELIF - DON’T BACK DOWN. Photographed by David Luraschi with fashion styling by Conor Manning, the image features Khelif wearing a black leather bomber jacket with a prominent white shearling collar and dark denim jeans. The subject has her hands casually tucked into the jacket pockets while gazing directly toward the camera with a neutral expression. Hair styling was handled by Alexander Soltermann, makeup by Aya Murai, and manicures by Audrey Chéri under the editorial direction of Marie-Amélie Sauvé. The composition employs a vertical studio format against a solid, neutral backdrop with soft, even lighting.
