Style Pasifika supreme award winner Kiri Nathan credits her grandfather with inspiration.
Waatea News reports that her grey organza, wool and cotton creation with wheat is a feminine version of her grandfather's 28th Maori Battalion uniform.
Although her grandfather is no longer living, she says he was still a part of her thoughts.
She says the highlight of the night was sharing the award with her whanau, including her grandmother, 86.
