Tomihiro Kono’s Artistic Wigs Reveal Magical Versions of Ourselves«Wigs have traditionally been used to disguise as a character. However, wigs can bring us closer to our own identity.»

Wigs allow us to instantly transform and play with who we are. However, for most of us, they are not commonly used accessories or a way to express ourselves. Tomihiro Kono (@tomikono_wig) has proposed modifying this conception and taking it to the next level. His handmade wigs are, more than a fashion accessory, a creative work that can turn us into fantastic creatures beyond our reality.

The Japanese artist has collaborated with Junya Watanabe’s Comme Des Garçons, Maison Margiela, Collina Strada, Jil Sander, or Yueqi Qi. He has held wigs exhibitions in New York, Tokyo or Paris. Personalities such as Björk or Gigi Hadid have worn his creations, inspired by nature and the traditional geisha hairstyle arts, which the artist knows in depth.
