For Kapital’s FW19 collection, Kiro wanted to shoot in the US, in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

In our search for goodness on the journal today our mind wanders to the jagged shores of California, sun-kissed and bathed in warmth like the spine of a great lizard, where artist, former professional athlete, and activist Peggy Oki lives. Oki was born in California after her parents fled Hiroshi...
