Everybody loves reworked fairytales, and this photo set from Alexandra Zaharova and Ilya Plotnikov of Doberman Studio does just that. Each image represents a considerably more fashionable reworked fairytale, from Alice in Wonderland to Cinderella, Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood.
Imagine if all fairytale heroines dressed as fashionably as these femmes!
