The Sleek Avenue is where editorial ideas come to life.
Malaysian-born, Auckland-based Aki Curtis believes that fashion photography and videography play important roles to amplify a designer’s idea and vision. She is passionate about translating fashion pieces into beautiful storytelling. Aki founded her brand in 2016 and has been since growing her fashion portfolio on top of her advertising agency art director career.
