Artist Leland Foster collaborated with online retailer Lyst to reimagine the characters fro The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as if the show were playing in 2015 instead of 1990, with the cast preserved at their original ages. Carlton’s wearing Google Glass, Uncle Phil’s got an iPad and a Republican pin, and Will is as fashion-forward as his son is known for being today. The artist also updated the Seinfeld cast as hipsters.
