Mastermind Magazine is a bi-annual cultural review founded in 2017 by Marie-Amélie Sauvé and Brune Buonomano. Authoritative, probing and luxurious, the magazine is structured in chapters, offering detailed perspectives on the issues and people shaping our time. Featuring images by the world’s greatest photographers and writing by today’s pre-eminent authors and journalists, Mastermind is a collectable designed to last, inviting readers to discover the world in new, illuminating ways.
Alongside the magazine is Mastermind Studio, a full-service styling, art direction and production agency. Using Mastermind’s distinctive creative vision and editorial voice, we create print and digital content for brands we love.
In mastermind 09, Natalia Vodianova considers how her family values have shaped her path in life, and Tahar Rahim discusses the psychology of playing good and evil characters. We get up close and personal with the living legend Patti Smith and meet the trailblazing french politician Christiane Taubira, before taking a journey through the world of Charlotte Gainsbourg.
A portion of the proceeds from mastermind 09 will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières, the international humanitarian organization providing medical support to countries affected by conflict and disease.
