Style Spotlight | Ohh Couture is the oracle on fusing travel and style

Hidden riads and metallic Dior gowns in Marrakech culminate in just one of the dreamlike fashion snapshots that Leonie Hanne shares on her blogging mecca, Ohh Couture. Trust us, you’ve definitely seen this grid before.

1.7 million Instagram followers rile behind this style and travel maven, who is known for enthralling the masses in her clever sense of dressing for different corners of the globe. Every frame is awash with colour, as minimalism is exchanged for bustling city scenes and all the textures of haute couture.

With wanderlust and unbelievable frocks colliding in such a glorious frenzy, we’re finding it hard to cut down our list of reasons why Ohh Couture should bask in the Style Spotlight…

1. She has a list of favourite Aussie fashion labels that you must investigate at once…
Leonie has declared her love for Australian brands after touching down on our salty shores earlier this year for the VOGUE & Harper’s Bazaar-hosted MAAS Gala. In the flurry of sartorial celebrations, Leonie said “you should totally check [out] Spell Byron Bay (I know I wear it all the time), Posse, Sir The Label and St Agni – Just to name a few!”

2. Leonie’s Coachella coverage made us feel a little bit closer to all the action…
From tubs of vegan ice cream under canopies of fairy lights, to endless Revolve outfits successfully oozing with festival vibes, we’ve followed the Ohh Couture stream of Coachella highlights with awe and envy. If you’re gearing up for Splendour In The Grass next, a style consultation over on Leonie’s grid will stand you in good stead.

3. Ohh Couture didn’t happen overnight…
We’d all like to think a few hundred thousand followers would navigate our fashion blogs after posting a couple of musings, but Leonie proves it takes a little more experience to nail the overall brief. At the time of Ohh Couture’s inception in 2014, Leonie was a strategy consultant named one of the most promising talents of the textile industry by German textile journal Textilwirtschaft.

4. Her partner in crime is a photography extraordinaire…
In December 2015, Ohh Couture went from a solo endeavour to a style series run by Leonie in partnership with Alexander Galievsky. Alexander and Leonie are ultimate #couplegoals, with Alex’s bio aptly reading ‘Instagram husband’. While Leonie pieces the outfit ensembles together, Alex works his magic behind the lens to create the content we adore.

5. Nobody does Paris better than Leonie…
If you’re not-so-distant future sees bicycle baskets teeming with baguettes and twinkling Eiffel Tower lights, then Ohh Couture’s depiction of Paree is our prescription of homework before boarding that plane. Her latest wrap-up of a Francophilian sojourn here is complete with must-see sites, insanely Parisian fashion and fantastic mood board material. There are THAT many balcony shots, we’re second-guessing if this is a blog post or a scene from a François Truffaut film.
