shigeyuki kihara is a contemporary artist and the first New Zealander to hold a solo exhibition at the metropitan museum of art in New York. Kihara immigrated to New Zealand at the age of sixteen to further her studies. Kihara is also a fa'afine, the 3rd gender of Samoa also a samoan born. her mother is samoan and her father is japanese. shigeyuki trained in fashion design in wellington polytech (now massey university).
what i liked about this artist is how her costume restricts her body and makes her movement more effective like how a samoan taupou should really dance. she uses them olden day dress instead of what they wear now days with the fine mat around the body.
