Please join us in welcoming Kiri-Rose Kendall to chat with Heart of Indie Radio Co-Host Emme Lentino

Kiri-Rose Kendall was born and adopted in Houston, Texas by an incredible

woman who was a Kiwi scientist. She was raised between Houston, Kenya and

New Zealand. Kiri-Rose’s global upbringing has led her along many life paths both

in youth advocacy and in creativity. During her early years, Kiri-Rose was Steiner

educated, giving her the creative stability and grounded-ness that would later

manifest itself in exciting ways. From Steiner, she chose Auckland Girls Grammar

which gave her the freedom to find her passion and drive which included sports -

that landed her full track and field and academic scholarship to the university, her

passion for youth advocacy both nationally and internationally, and of course, her

drive towards an international modelling and acting career.

Kiri-Rose started her modelling career during high school walking the runway at

Fashion Week for designers such as Karen Walker, Zambesi, NomD, Anna Stretton

and Augustine. Her national campaign shoots have included the throwback

magazines - Cleo, Lifestyle, Pavement, Girlfriend magazines and most recently a

spread in the re-launch of Fashion Quarterly. Her international campaigns include

the adventurous Ice Breaker shoot, the empowering Reebok x Les Mills shoot and

the beautifully powerful bridal shoot for Hera Couture that featured in UK Vogue.

Her creative journey doesn’t end there, you may have seen Kiri-Rose in the

captivating Netflix series - Sweet Tooth, and as her castmates and crew call her

she is known as Twyla - the “ always well-dressed member of the neighbourhood.”
