New Zealand Paralympian Liam Malone is making his mark in the fashion world after being snapped in a show at New York Fashion Week.
An image of Malone, who announced his retirement from racing in January, shows the 24-year-old striding through a snowy, space-themed scene in designer Philipp Plein's New
York Fashion Week show in Brooklyn.
And in the closing of the show, as other models danced centre stage in the falling snow, footage captures Malone walking with Plein and model Irina Shayk, Bradley Cooper's girlfriend. As Plein waves to the applauding crowd he throws a thumbs up to Malone who responds with a cool nod.
Sporting silver shorts, a printed hoodie and backpack, Malone was also joined on the futuristic runway by fellow Kiwi model, Georgia Fowler, who has just this week been announced as the host of Project Runway New Zealand.
