Russian Artist Creates Intricate Baroque Wigs From Paper

This is not your everyday paper art. Russian artist Asya Kozina has been turning paper into high-art for years, and won renown for her impressive Mongolian wedding costumes. Kozina explains her motivation on Behance:

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

    Asya Kozina from St Petersburg has created a range of intricate and extremely delicate wedding gowns out of plain sheets of white paper. The Russian-born artist studied old drawings and sepia photographs of traditional Mongolian wedding dresses and based her extravagant line on outfits worn hundreds of years ago.
