Classic Sculptures Get Dressed In Modern Clothes For ‘Hipsters In Stone’ Project
In 2012 French photographer Leo Caillard partnered with the Louvre Museum for a project in which he makes classic statues "wear" modern-day clothing.
For the creation of "The Hipsters in Stone" art series, Caillard first photographed the statues, and then asked his friends to pose in the same position but with clothes like jeans, flannel shirts and even Ray Ban sunglasses. Then he finished his project with Photoshop.
Here's the second part of the series.

Amazing how they got the dress fabric to look so natural around the sculpted curls. She looks real.

That's because it is a real person. She just styled her hair and posed like the statue, then someone photoshopped it to make it look like a statue.

I don't understand the Paris shirt, in arabic and french, on a David d'Angers sculpture. It is hype for hipsters like "i love NYC"shirts because it is odd? I'm 31 but totally lost in hipster's world.

If they these guys WERE in the streets today everybody would turn around to have a second glance on them. That's proves how good the sculptors were.

Actually, these are photoshopped people. They didn't actually put clothes on the real sculptures.

i really enjoy how well edited these are. takes some time, effort, and a considerable eye for detail to be able to get things to match just right. what i am curious however is how many of these are drawn/painted in and how many are photoshopped, if at all.

I'm betting they had models pose to match the photos of the sculptures, then photoshopped them like you would any photo to match the physical proportions of the statues, then cut out the clothes, overlayed, and then painted in the gaps.
