Disney princesses as modern ladies and fashionistas

Public domain fairytales and Disney’s interpretations of them are the source of endless inspiration for pop culture artists.
What follows is my latest collection of interesting works on the subject.

Pennsylvania-based artist Isabelle Staub has done some excellent work giving Disney movie characters a more detailed look in her illustrations. See her takes on Ariel from “The Little Mermaid” (up top) and Belle from “Beauty and The Beast.”

Chilean artist Fernanda Suarez likes to modernize Disney princesses in her works. Here is a collage of her portraits of Snow White, Belle, Ariel and Jasmine.

Russian artist Anastasia Kosyanova did a series of portraits imagining Disney princesses as models for today’s top fashion brands. Her works have Cinderella wearing Valentino, Elsa sporting Ralph Lauren and Rapunzel rocking Prada.

Jakarta-based artist Andhika Muksin has had fun presenting Disney princesses in not-so-flattering scenes and situations in his works.
(See articles by Little Things and Fatherly as well as his Instagram page.)



Finally, German artist Stephanie Hermes highlighted the problem of ocean pollution in her twist on “The Little Mermaid.” Her series is titled “The Little Trashmaid.”
