‘The Wizard Of Oz’ Characters Reimagined As Hipsters

Shutterstock in-house designer Jordan Roland has given the classic characters of the 73-year-old film The Wizard of Oz a modern-day spin.



In the series ‘The Hipsters of Oz’, Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, Wicked Witch of the West, and Tin Man get seen through the lens of one of the most prominent groups of today’s generation: hipsters.



“What if we put on a pair of magical vintage Wayfarers, ones that gave us ‘Hipster Vision’, and revisited this timeless classic?,” Shutterstock wrote on its blog. “Would Dorothy have packed a thermos of coffee in her courier bag before embarking on her journey? Would the Cowardly Lion have proudly sported bed head? Would the Scarecrow have stuffed his straw into skinny jeans?”



Do The Wizard of Oz characters look cooler as hipsters?
