Khalil, who is known for her role in the well-received Ramadan series Grand Hotel and considered a fashion icon, has already done a shoot for the brand, done by the nonee other than Maison Pyramide, who have been putting Egyptian fashion on the global map.

Speaking to Vogue Arabia, Khalil described her inspiration by the brand’s role in elevating Egypt’s fashion craftsmanship; “By representing Okhtein, I’m representing the determination that drives us Egyptians to pursue our goals and ambitions despite the obstacles that may cross our paths”.

For their part, Mounaz and Aya Abdel Raouf, the sister duo behind Okhtein, explain their choice of Khalil to be the face of the brand as being due to her strength, eloquence, independence, and ability to evolve.
