In the hipster world of Amit Shimoni, Queen Elizabeth II wears a sleeveless blouse and a flower crown in her hair, and Winston Churchill is imagined in a pork pie hat and V-neck sailor shirt.

Princess Diana is pictured in a choker necklace and shiny gold jacket, and Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher has gold chains and a leopard-print strapless top.

Shimoni, 30, is a wildly creative computer illustrator who is making a name for himself by turning the world’s greatest leaders and celebrities of modern history into hipsters.

His illustrations are his “attempt to create new and altered portraits of iconic figures of the 20th century, by placing them in a different time and culture”.
