If doing one's laundry was always a party, as depicted in The Laundrette photo series, then people would probably not whine and complain so much about this particular chore. Of course, eccentric encounters aside, a visit to the local [laundromat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oncampus-laundry) is not usually this eventful, unfortunately.

Shot by photographer Lukasz Zietek, The Laundrette photo series shows off his quirkier side. Zietek has shot fashion editorials, campaigns for companies such as [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aya-brown-x-nike-air-max-95) and even taken the occasional celebrity portrait, but The Laundrette series is something else entirely. Starring a couple of hoodlums, an odd older lady and a powerless piglet, it is raunchy, playful and full of energy. Not to mention it is [colorful explosion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama) as well.
