'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' was always on the cutting edge of style, and for its 25th anniversary, Leland Foster predicted how each character would dress in 2015.
Modern portraits have been created with each character donning a contemporary outfit that maintains their signature look. Each character's exaggerated style has been maintained and upgraded to fit for 2015.
Some highlights from the collection include Will's flashy jumpsuit, Uncle Phil's khaki jacket and republican pin and Carleton's preppy bowtie, Apple Watch and Google Glass. Foster's tribute to the iconic sitcom also serves as an apt reminder for the timelessness of certain styles. These updated portraits also work to emphasize the boomer generation's use of technology best illustrated by Uncle Phil and his trusted iPad.
