The two creatives first linked when creating pieces for Alicia Keys for the 2020 Grammys
The Jennifer Behr x Nai’vasha Collection is the product of both artists’ expertise in all things hair, with the collaborators wanting to create pieces that honor their artistry and pay homage to the idea of female strength — a collection for women warriors, as they describe it.
Since their initial collaboration for Alicia Keys, Behr and Nai’vasha have continued designing one-off style but this will be their first collection available for purchase. The 11-piece collection starts at $98 and features abstract gold headpieces, brass chain combs and Swarovski crystal bobby pin strands.“One of the interesting things for me about this process is taking the combination of Nai’vasha’s hair expertise and my design background and weaving those visions together,” Behr explained.
Hairstylist Nai’vasha also wanted the collection to include versatile bobby pins, with bobby pin chains and bobby pin sets. Similarly, their hair combs include gold chains to be woven into the hair. The combs are more accessible versions of the crystal strands and golden flowers pieces the duo originally designed for Keys.
“These are all shapes and structures that resonate with who I am as a person and an artist,” says Curl Queen founder Nai’vasha. “The gold leaves remind me of my time growing up in Memphis, while the chains are very much the energy of New York. The headbands, in particular, are intentionally reminiscent of a toughened tiara.”
The duo choose mutual friends, singer-songwriter Adeline and fashion editor and stylist Rajni Jacques, to feature in their campaign alongside models. Images debut on social channels Wednesday and the Jennifer Behr x Nai’vasha collection is for sale at Jennifer Behr’s e-commerce.
