Welcome to my profile!  If we've not met before...Hi! I'm Kira.
I'm an internationally published, Asian alt model based in Manchester, UK.  Looks wise, I am tattooed and have olive skin due to my Thai heritage. My hair has changed from being bum length to fully shaved off and back again.  It is currently long, black with an undercut. (2021)

I've been modelling on and off since 2004, when I first created my horror alias and honestly I can't imagine life without it now. 
My biggest obsession for the longest time was Tokyo Royale -the indie shop I had in Afflecks Palace between 2006-2014.  Most of my images around that time focussed on gothic lolita, kawaii, steampunk and cosplay. I also had a big soft spot for latex fashion.

My work now is more about escapism for me and aims to encapsulate my love for storytelling, fairytale imagery as well as tipping my cap to my hugest inspirations taken from Asian culture, art, vampire literature, graphic novels and film.

I don't tend to shoot as often as I used to but I can't resist an exciting concept or editorial with a team of other creatives who are on the same wave length so please don't be afraid to message if you would like to include me in your team.

Please include in the mail when contacting me:
What the shoot is for, whether it is paid/ part paid/ possible TF collaboration, the  date required, start time, amount of hours, location, theme and whether a designer/ mua/hair stylist will be involved.
