Clad in a textured tinsel cape, the fresh-faced model sports an ethnic accessory piece that showcases a mix of deep crimson tones. The voluminous shrug is tied and worn a variety of different ways and displayed in a number of powerful poses. Featured in Te Rongo Kirkwood’s latest installation 'Ka Awatea,' the New Zealand model is ethnic chic, sporting traditional tribal fashions.
