Singapore, 31 March 2021 – Singapore’s top virtual influencer, Rae (@here.is.rae) is the first virtual personality to be styled by Asia’s top hair styling maestro and celebrity hairstylist, Kim Robinson. Rae now sports an entirely new and vibrant hairstyle – soft and natural waves in a shade of powder rose and purple with brilliant streaks of fuschia – crafted by the expert hands of Kim Robinson.
The partnership with Kim Robinson and his renowned luxury hair salon marks Rae’s foray into the beauty scene. As the beauty and fashion world continue to embrace virtual technology, this one-of-a-kind collaboration takes a step further into this digital-first future, enabling creators to push design boundaries and share their creations with a wider audience.
Rae’s new hairstyle mirrors her adventurous, free-spirited, and outgoing personality, while the new colours convey Rae’s creativity, mystery and sense of wonder – turning heads in both the real and virtual worlds.
“I’m completely blown away by my new hairstyle and the amazing colours! One bold cut - no regrets! It’s about keeping your eye on the future, be willing to experiment and just going for it! To be styled by Kim Robinson was such an amazing experience. I knew I could trust him with his mastery in hairstyling and understanding of Asian beauty. He didn’t just give me a new hairstyle; it’s a reinvention! Looking good and feeling good is such a confidence booster. Standing out from the crowd, I feel even more empowered to take charge and be the changemaker I know I can be. Watch me and my new head of colour as I continue my adventures on social media to take over the virtual scene. World, look out!” enthused Rae.
“Beauty can be shown in any form, including in virtual being like Rae. Rae was daring for change and looking for something new. I gave her a short bob hair style and colours that symbolise new beginnings, youth and joy. It takes courage and an adventurous mind to carry off these colours and Rae shows the world that women can be independent and bold. The new hairstyle for Rae can be executed in real life too! Just like Rae’s Instagram profile “I don’t dream, I do. Byte me.” If you want to try something new, don’t dream, just do it,” shares Mr Kim Robinson.
