"For Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists, Engman drew upon the fabled character of Little Red Riding Hood as her primary inspiration. Engman noted, "The artist's role in contributing to a cause is to try to help us see the cause anew, to understand it, to feel it in a visceral way." She chose the character for her pluck and bravery, her warmth and kindness, and her iconic familiarity. Indeed, the Little Red Riding Hood character appears in many of Camilla's works as a recurring motif. "I wanted the design not to interfere too much with the shoe and to be something I would like to wear myself. The Little Red Riding Hood character has appeared in many of my paintings and drawings and probably will again. She has so many attributes that I like," she added."

Converse (RED) program is simply and magnificiently a program established by BONO of U2 to help reduce the effects of AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis within Africa." http://www.joinred.com/
