HER PERSONAL STYLE
“This globetrotting Kiwi’s sense of style is so elaborate it hurts. Bringing high-end pieces and bold pairings to the forefront, Aki’s “more is more” philosophy has her follower’s heads spinning as her style and talent provoke nothing more than pure envy”, quoted Fashion Quarterly in 2018, leading New Zealand fashion magazine. No stranger to the fashion week scenes, Aki is a streetstyle inspiration to a few international publications.
