Urban fairytales

Wednesday, 12 May 2010


Walking through Soho the other day, I was really surprised to see this streaming from a window. The room that the hair flows into is literally full of hair! An urban style Rapunzel for modern day.


The photographer Eugenio Recuneo likes to explore the modern fairytale, and I think his photographs are really interesting, whether it's snow white or the princess and the pea.


And below Tim Walker's take on the princess and the pea.


And for a modern day Heidi the hair on this season's catwalk would be just perfect,


as would this guestroom as featured in the New York Times.

Images: own taken on Beak Street, Euguenio Recuneo, Tim Walker, unknown, New York Times.
