You might think of Little Red Riding Hood as a demure fairytale heroine, but Soon Tong's smoking, debaucherous 'Little Bad Riding Hood' proves that there's a badass side to this iconic character.
In this photo set, Little Bad Riding Hood dominates the Big Bag Wolf, recovering from her initial shock to grab a switch and ride the wolf like a horse. Yowza!
Implications - Soon Tong captures the story perfectly through her lens while Ashburn Eng dresses models Olga and Leonardo in their haute outfits. The models wear numerous pieces all in black and red. Alicia Tey did a great job styling Olga's bright red hair to capture the true essence of the familiar fairytale.
