After some weather delays we finally got to do our latest photoshoot in Shoreditch, on a sunny day no less.

We had a great team with us and came back with a selection of new photos including shots of our new “SAMURAI” snapback and beanie hats which will be on the ASOS Marketplace later in August.

Check out our sneak peak look at behind the scenes of the shoot.

London Anime & Gaming Con

mayamada February 12, 2014 No Comments

We spent this past weekend at the London Anime & Gaming Con.  As usual it was  a good mix of the wacky and wonderful in a relaxed community environment.

The event also saw us give our first Q&A panel at any convention. We were given the opportunity to talk on stage about the brand and characters, Samurai Chef included, as well as the manga we create.

It was a great two days seeing some cool cosplayers, meeting new fans and we even saw a marriage proposal!

Take a look at some of our photos, and head over to our Facebook page to say hi if we met you at LAGC.

Photoshoot Behind The Scenes

Whenever we put together a photoshoot we always hope to work with a great team.  Somehow we keep getting lucky because once again we found ourselves working with an amazing group of photographers, make up artists and models.

We set up shop at Workrate Studios in East London to go through the new collection.  Take a look at what we got up to and stay tuned for online preorders next month!

We had fantastic make up people throughout, keeping the models look their best.
