Modern bridal hair for one of fashion’s most recognisable names.
James Lear was behind the hair for Leonie Hanne’s wedding celebrations as the fashion influencer married her longtime partner Alexander Galievsky on the French Riviera.
Set against the spectacular surroundings of Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the multi-part celebration brought together fashion, location and occasion — with every detail considered.
For James, the brief called for the same balance that defines his wider work: precision without rigidity, polish without losing character.
Working with Leonie’s individual looks across the celebrations, the hair became part of the complete fashion story — considered alongside the dress, styling and setting rather than treated simply as a finishing touch.
The wedding and its looks went on to feature in Grazia Germany, bringing James’ work to the pages of one of Europe’s most established fashion and lifestyle publications.
From fashion shoots and global events to moments that are altogether more personal, it demonstrates a different side of James’ craft: creating hair that performs beautifully when every detail and every angle matters.
French Riviera. Modern romance. Hair by James Lear.
