Mia Khalifa

Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American model, feminist activist and social media sensation with over 70 million followers across 3 platforms. In March 2023, industry bible, The Lefty Report, ranked Mia the 5th most influential in the world (overtaking Kylie Jenner), generating $7.6million in earned media value for the 6 brands she posted about in the AW23 season.

Born in Lebanon, Mia immigrated to the US in 2001, just before 9/11, in the wake of the South Lebanon conflict. She was bullied at school for being "the darkest and weirdest girl there", which intensified after the September 11 attacks. A self-confessed ‘lost kid’, Mia can articulate her experiences at that time with refreshing candour and accountability, which has led to her being featured in the most prestigious taste-maker publications in the world, including British Vogue, Spotify Studios: Diary of a CEO and Perfect Magazine and speaking appearances that include the Oxford Union. 

In July 2023, Mia realised her design ambitions and launched her first brand Sheytan. The collection sold out in 3 styles on the first day and the website received over 150,000 subscriptions in the first 72 hours.  A true sensation, Mia Khalifa is one of the most exciting and culturally relevant talents to emerge from the pandemic.
