For its spring/summer '25 runway show laden with bows and bustiers, Oslo-based brand Murlong Cres tapped natural beauty Leah Behn – the daughter of Märtha Louise of Norway – as the opening model. Here, Behn takes us along for the ride, documenting every exciting moment of her big modelling debut, exclusively for Vogue Scandinavia.

"I started my morning pretty early at 8.00AM and washed out the overnight mask I had in my hair. Love putting a hair mask in before something important so my hair is looking its best. I took a relaxing 20 minutes to do my skincare and clear my mind before the big day started. Below, you can see some of the products! We were told to come in with no makeup so I just used a little bit of my new brand Dorah’s dream cream, a moisturiser, eye cream and lip balm."
