Russian Artist Creates Classical Baroque Wigs Out Of Paper

If you’re going for a wig, might as well go for the most pretentious one you can find. Asya Kozina is making hers out of paper. Inspired by traditional powdered wigs that were more sculptures than hairstyles, they are majestic.

“Historical wigs always interested me, particularly the baroque era,” Kozina states. “this is art for art’s sake aesthetics for aesthetics — no practical sense, but they are beautiful. in this case, the paper helps to highlight the main form and not to be obsessed with unnecessary details.”

Kozina has done other extensive work, too, as these traditional wedding dresses in the paper.
