If the whimsical women of Disney were brought to life today, you can bet they'd bare a stylishly striking resemblance to the DeviantART user Viria13's 'Fashion Princesses' illustration.
The Ukrainian artist used PaintTool SAI to transform classic characters, like the sweetly-shy Cinderella and tough-as-nails Mulan, into beautiful beatniks wearing skinny-jeans. Her amazing artwork allows you to actually visualize Pocahontas as a pretentious style icon and makes Snow White appear to be a savvy thrift store shopper. Ariel the Little Mermaid may have loved the water before, but now she'd no doubt drown in the mainstream!
From Jasmine's off-the-shoulder flowy frock to Belle's slouchy sweater, the Viria 13 'Fashion Princesses' are an ultra-hip upgrade to the conventional cartoon creations of the past.
