Undeniably, Vogue Scandinavia digital cover star Leonie Hanne knows a thing or two about accessories. A pioneer of the Blair Waldorf-esque headband and advocate for sparking jewellery, the couture-savvy influencer has teamed up with American accessories designer Jennifer Behr for a swoon-worthy collaboration
No one does fashion - nay, couture - like Vogue Scandinavia's digital cover star Leonie Hanne. For over a decade, the global sartorial tastemaker, who humbly began with a personal blog, has cultivated an audience of over 4.8 million devoted followers, each eagerly awaiting her frequent bursts of fashion inspiration. Hanne knows better than most that while an exceptional gown, top or skirt can command attention, no ensemble is truly complete without the perfect accessories. Choose them well, and the entire mood shifts: a simple black outfit turns edgy with the right earring, a relaxed suit transforms into an exercise in refinement with a French pin, and – at least in Hanne's case – even the most exquisite couture is elevated to dazzling new heights with the addition of diamonds.
Yet deciding what to pair with what can be deceptively complex. Enter Hanne with the ultimate solution: a limited-edition nine-piece accessories collection co-designed with American designer Jennifer Behr, naturally featuring headbands – known as Hanne's signature.
"For me, hairpieces and jewellery transform an outfit into a look," says Hanne. "Whether it's denim or a dress, adding a headband or statement earring instantly creates a unique style moment."
It was their mutual adoration for headbands that first brought the two together. "I discovered my love for headbands early on in my fashion journey when I started searching for the best pieces to elevate my looks," Hanne notes. "I quickly fell in love with Jennifer Behr's pieces. I've [now] been wearing her designs for years." Hanne was among the earliest champions of Behr's work, making this collection an inevitable union: a marriage of timeless aesthetics, masterful craftsmanship, and shared passion. "We've always believed in the emotional power of accessories to transform a look, and Leonie is the perfect embodiment of that," says Behr, the eponymous founder. "She has such a strong, joyful, expressive approach to fashion, and we immediately clicked over our shared love of beauty, travel, and iconic style moments. This collection captures all of that."

The collection opens with two standout headbands: 'The Grace', Hanne’s personal favourite, pairing lustrous pearls and shimmering stones in an ode to Parisian allure; and 'The Audrey', a satin piece in black, ivory, or blush with flowing tails, in a nod to the namesake, Audrey Hepburn.
The line also features a black jaw clip, hand-embellished with crystals spelling 'Paris'. Equal parts playful and practical, it’s perfect for securing a chignon, adding sparkle to an evening look, or clipping to a handbag for instant elegance on the go.
Turning to the ears, the collection introduces 'The Amelie' – crystal clusters with a cascading fringe that shimmers with every movement – and 'The Belle' studs, offered in both sparkling crystal and jet black, framed in a vintage-inspired chain setting. With the clean lines and confident edge of both pairs, they would be equally fitting with a sharp tailoring moment or a relaxed weekend look alike.
The collection gracefully concludes with 'The Fleur', a refined reinterpretation of Behr's iconic ribbon tie, captured the city's timeless elegance through its delicate bloom and fluid drape. Soft yet striking, it serves as the poetic thread that unites the collection.
