Retro travel poster of woman on NZ beach with mountains, tiki, and text VISIT NEW ZEALAND

A retro-style pin-up poster illustration of a radiant Māori-Pākehā woman from New Zealand, with smooth sun-kissed skin, striking green eyes, and long dark hair styled in classic 1950s waves, partially braided and adorned with a feather and kōwhai blossoms. Her smile is bright and playful, exuding beachside confidence and warm island energy. Her figure is in the classic vintage pin-up style—curvy, confident, and strikingly hourglass-shaped. Her two-piece swimsuit draws inspiration from traditional Māori patterns and beach fashion: the top is a bandeau-style wrap in deep ocean blue with white and red tāniko motifs, held with crisscrossing straps and a carved faux-pounamu ornament at the center. The high-waisted bottoms are flax-colored with black koru swirl patterns along the sides, reminiscent of carved bone or wood. A sheer wrap tied at her hip resembles a woven piupiu skirt fluttering in the coastal breeze. She stands barefoot on a driftwood log at the edge of a windswept beach, one leg bent playfully, a hand raised to shade her eyes as she gazes out over turquoise waves. Behind her, the sun sets over a lush, mountainous landscape with a stylized silhouette of Aoraki/Mt. Cook and a flight of seabirds overhead. A carved tiki and a basket of kiwifruit rest in the sand nearby. The design uses muted teal, flax gold, and sunset orange tones, with soft paper textures and radiating sunburst lines in the background for that classic 1950s travel-poster feel.
