A hardback, high-gloss cultural review founded in 2017 by Marie-Amélie Sauvé and Brune Buonomano. The ‘authoritative, probing and luxurious’ Mastermind is a publication made to sit très proudly on a coffee table.
Celebrating ten years in print, this silver anniversary edition features four cover stars at various stages of their acting careers: French actor and filmmaker Louis Garrel, Dutch former model Rianne Van Rompaey, and ‘Hope’ costars Hoyeon and Alicia Vikander. Alongside interviews with the cover stars, the Mastermind team meet with two artists incorporating technology in their practice—Pierre Huyghe and Jordan Wolfe—and a series of features pay tribute to Parisian nightlife’s hedonistic heyday, commencing at the end of the 60s and spanning two decades. Plus, expect the usual selection of glossy fashion editorial, including a bucolic shoot by Inez and Vinoodh.
