3 touching moments from Iko Mash's memorial service
Celebrity stylist Iko Mash was celebrated on Thursday afternoon, when friends and family gathered at Bassline, Newtown for a memorial service in her honour.
The 'colourful' personality as many called her was remembered by many industry faces, who came forward to share their experiences with her. A dear friend to Iko, actress Manaka Ranaka was applauded for having taken care of Iko in her last days.
People that worked with Iko took turns to share their stories of the makeup artist who many remembered for transforming ducks into beautiful swans.
Iko died last Friday after a battle with cancer.
Here are some of the touching moments:
