world leaders as hipsters

what happens when modern-day hipster culture meets history? designer amit shimoni illustrates a union of the two by pairing painted portraits of famous world leaders with the outfits and hairstyles of today’s the ‘hipstory’ series, che guevara sports a colorful beanie, layered flannel shirts and american spirit tabacco in his pocket; john f kennedy dons a nose ring, chains and t-shirt, seemingly bearing a black and white picture of marilyn monroe; mahatma gandhi’s peaceful personality is reflected in a tie-dye top and 60s-style shades.
当现代潮人文化遇上历史会怎样?设计师 amit shimoni 通过把著名世界各国领导人的肖像画与今日青少年的服装和发型搭配到一起,演示了两者的结合效果。在“潮人历史”系列中,切·格瓦拉头戴一顶色彩丰富的无檐小便帽,身穿分层的法兰绒衬衫,口袋里装着富有美国特色的香烟;约翰·f·肯尼迪戴了鼻环、项链,穿一件T恤,上面印着貌似是玛丽莲·梦露的黑白图片;圣雄甘地的和平个性反映在扎染的领口和60年代风格的墨镜上。

‘I often find myself thinking about the differences between these world’s greatest leaders, their beliefs and motivations, and our self-centered generation’ shimoni describes. ‘the ‘Y’ generation is constantly looking at fashion and style as their way of self expression while steering away from the big ideologies. ‘hipstory’ wishes to reimagine the great leaders of modern history and place them in a different time and culture  —  ours.’
“我发现自己经常会思考这些世界各国伟大领导人的不同之处,他们的信仰和内在驱动力与我们这以自我为中心的一代之间的差异”shimoni这样记述。“年轻一代总是以关注时尚作为他们自我表达的方式,同时也远离了大方向上的意识形态。”潮人历史“希望能重塑这些现代历史上的伟大领导人,并把他们放置在一个不同的年代和文化中,即我们所处的这个年代和文化。
