Sin-O-Rella — THAT THING I DO

Inspired by Quentin Tarantino, Cinderella's cross-over to the dark side was conceived in-house. The children's fairytale was reinvented as a noir thriller with photographer Tarun Khiwal, stylist Gautam Kalra and Play Clan. We rewrote the story and illustrated the darker side of the beauty, calling her Sin-O-Rella. Riding a Kawasaki Vulcan and sporting Christian Dior, she changed from a virtuous victim to a hard-boiled assassin with attitude. The photo shoots and illustrations were combined to present a mould-breaking fashion feature in ELLE magazine. (December 2008 issue).
