Berntsen uses the [rich outdoor palette of autumn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) to bring 'Little Red Riding Hood' to life; the model is captured in a giant field that looks to be at the edge of the woods. Sara Berntsen's 'An Autumn Story' isn't the first time we've seen 'Little Red Riding Hood' used as a theme for a [fashion shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green).
