Artist Monique Schreijer created this series of enormous wig editorials, which highlights her talent of making [hand-crafted accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown). The six-image series carries a [fantasy-inspired theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama), as each wig pays tribute to an alternate reality.

Among the six enormous wig series, some themes include a black wig, which represents 'Plague of Marseilles' and a playful pink wig, which represents 'Cotton Candy/Unicorn.' Many of the enlarged hair pieces perfectly mimic the name or theme by recreating a life-sized interpretation. For example, the pink wig looks identical to a cotton candy carnival treat that has been enlarged and placed upside down on the model's head.

Each of the editorials features a hand-crafted wig along with other handmade items by Monique Schreijer. In order for the headpieces to captivate much of the viewer's attention, each image uses a pure black background to reduce external distractions.
