I know what you might think… There she goes again. Yes, Miranda is back and like never before. I have such a vicious pleasure at re-inventing myself and I have to say that the Alter Ego article Cibelle and I shot a little while ago absolutely opened a new creative door in my mind. Channeling all these different characters made me want to go a little deeper in the concepts and “get to know” these girls a bit better. Therefore, I went as far as actually wearing the wings in real life such as to go out in coffee shops, bars and even at night while dancing with my friends. Eventually, I had noticed that being a black head made a completely different side of my personality come out. I wasn’t being as silly and bubbly as I usually am, I became more observant, quite and gentle.
It’s fascinating how our hair can impact our personality so much and actually affect our behavior. It is the very projection that we have of ourselves and how we adapt to it in order for both to fit each other. In this case, being bubble and smiley wasn’t exactly how I’d imagine Miranda to be. I see her as a very creative, mysterious girl with a lot on her mind… Who enjoys taking a step back in a conversation to listen to what everybody says instead of taking part in it. She wanders around by herself, embracing the things she sees and hears and is able to perceive beauty and a somewhat poetic magic in every single little object surrounding her.
On another hand, I remember this one time when I wore this wig out to party with my friends in Paris and how I would stare into people eyes all of sudden, thing I would usually never do. I surprised myself holding the eye contact for a crazy amount of time while I’d usually get shy or silly while doing so… My movements became slower, almost more gracious and feline. I wanted to take risks, go in the darkest club possible and listen to underground music. I have to say, secretly I am dreaming of dying my hair black and going for a major change. But oh dear, that’ll take a lot of courage to do. And this is why trying on wigs is such a fun thing, it allows you this feeling of re-nouveau but you can still feel the same underneath it all.
As you might know, one of my all time favorite brands is Kenzo. I wear their pieces all the time and simply can’t get over it. I love the bold, rich colors, the crazy structures, the incredible materials and above all all the amazing concepts the talented duo Humberto Leon and Carol Lim come up with each season. As their team and ours were going through ideas, I knew that we had to do something extraordinary. And so, I wanted for one of the Alter Ego girls to come out and explore the world. So this time we are drowning in New York, Chinatown in all of it’s deranging yet fascinating beauty. I am here wearing the stunning Kenzo FW15 collection with this dress and it’s accessory that are absolutely to die for. Enjoy!

kristina you are verry pretty but your last photos aren't really good. I mean your hair isn't cute, your dress are orible your new photographer is a desaster, what happening to you??? you are really beautiful. 2014 kayture was the best fashion blog but now i don't know what to say. Dye your hair light blonde again, that color make you look old. And the new clothes you wear are absolute ugly. Call James and tell him to come back, He make the best pictures with you. in your recent instagram photos you look loke you have 30, and that isn't good. Open tour eyes and come back to normal girl. You change so much and that change is bad for you. Listen to me i love you and i want the best for you and your blog

These photos evince the creative genius that you are, Kristina! I loved it. But I wish your wig didn't look so wig-ish. Since you're getting into this type of editorials, I suggest you invest in some good and real-looking one! The rest is just flawless. ☺

This is such an interesting article. I have blonde hair and I never changed it dramatically. Of course there were different blonde tones but I was scared once I go dark in real life, my blond will never be as naturally beautiful again.
https://alenakit.wordpress.com/The wig idea is amazing. I am not sure where and how I would wear one but your post inspired me to get one. Thanks, Kristina.
Kisses, Alena

Holy cow, Kristina! Only you can make fashion look good in a grocery store like that! I totally understand what you mean. That's how I felt when I was in dance over a decade ago.

It must be so fun, seeing different sides of yourself come out and so strange that just with a wig everything changes! Miranda to me looks rather mysterious and dark, but maybe thats just the way the photos are taken!

Stunning photos! Honestly I think you would look good with any hair colour. I don't find my personality changes much based on my hair colour but I switch from blonde to brunette so often I guess I'm a bit of both by now! xo
http://www.looking-glass.caRegina
I absolutely love love love this shoot. You totally got "her" vibe. I feel like I'm in a movie :P Miranda is definetly your Sasha fierce! My hair always change my mood. Sometimes I think I'm crazy to think like that, because at the end of the day is just hair, but it's so true, it does affect us ahah.
Would you ever consider doing such a major change to you hair? :P I love the long bob, but then I'm like, well, I don't know, doesn't suit my face, bla bla excuses excuses :P Xx, Regina **

Sometime I also wish to be another person just for a small amount of time and I think going for a wig does seem tempting!
I also love Cibelle's picture, she is an incredible artist, the entire Kayture team is! I love the way you give attention to the little details such as the background, that Chinese shop such adds that little dark touch to the pictures!
Keep up the great work, really like to read your blog and see all the adventures you go through!

You are such an inspiration. I'm always much more in love with your blog and sure with Kenzo, one of my favorite brand ever.
