If some of history’s most notorious badasses were in their prime today, how would they dress? Well, Chilean artist Fab Ciraolo has hazarded a guess. After the jump, you’ll see Frida Kahlo as a chain-smoking Daft Punk fan; Salvador Dalí in a leopard-trimmed jacket and a Vampire Weekend T-shirt; Che Guevara gone post-punk; and a nipple-taped Cleopatra with a big, honking Justice tattoo. The site of historical rebels from around the globe dressed in the trappings of 21st-century counterculture is lots of fun, but also somewhat jarring in that commodification-of-dissent way, no?
