Charles III
Why is formal etiquette so dull? A real king with a tattoo where a heart is wrapped with a ribbon saying ‘Mommy’ looks much more magnificent.

Greta Thunberg
Youth should be bold. If Greta changed her image, the world would learn much more about climate change from this beauty.

Elon Musk
Power in innovation, style in details! Elon Musk’s cyber jacket would be made from innovative materials created by his own company. And its pockets would surely charge smartphones.

A sailor’s jersey and suspenders for trousers — that’s the spirit of rebellion and adventure! Undoubtedly, this hipster Churchill would be an object of admiration and discussion in salons and cabarets across the country!

Hillary Clinton
One of the most powerful and influential female politicians in the world. But she would never dye her hair purple, even if it meant becoming the first female president of the United States.

John F. Kennedy
The 35th President of the United States. Undoubtedly, the artist’s illustrations slightly provoke the viewers, thus exploring the sanctity of cultural icons in the 21st century. But damn, it looks incredibly stylish!

Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi’s hipster image would surely seem unusual to those accustomed to seeing him in traditional attire, but it would simply be another way of expressing his unique mindset and resistance.
