Earlier this year we were introduced to The Golden Youth Movement a group of ambitious youths doing positive things.
TGYM Fashion Up is TGYM’s first fashion based project designed to connect ambitious youths from London with established and upcoming clothing lines and we were happy to be a part of the project.
Check out a selection of photos show the TGYM guys and girls wearing some of the latest mayamada tees and sweatshirts.
Make sure you follow TGYM on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Whenever we put together a photoshoot we always hope to work with a great team. Â 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. Â 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.
Pre orders on the new hoodie will begin in October. Â Get ready!
With summer done, we’re turning our attention to the run up to Christmas with some new mayamada designs.
From October, you’ll be able to preorder products from our new line of designs and colour ways across t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Stay tuned for more details on upcoming preorders and an in-store event. Until then enjoy a glance at the new line.

After a massively successful Frozen Yogurt Party in London this spring, we’re taking a road trip south to the newly opened Tutti Frutti Brighton and hosting a second Frozen Yogurt Party on Saturday August 24th.
Over the summer bank holiday weekend we’ll be bringing a great mix of frozen yogurt, gaming and anime inspired t-shirts for a one day spectacular in the Brighton sunshine.
You can RSVP online now and head over to our Facebook page for the latest event news as we get closer to the date in August.
We’re pleased to announce that mayamada will be making its first trade show appearance at Margin London this August.
 
Margin is a big event for independent brands like ours where we get to showcase our range of t-shirts, caps and the new Samurai Chef manga book to prospective buyers, stores and fashion editors.
Now the hard work starts and from now until August we’ll be getting ourselves ready to put on the best exhibition possible.
Here’s a taste of what we will be showcasing at Margin London…
Even though many of you have complemented the old mayamada website, we felt it was still time for a change to push things forward.
We’ve been hard at work on the new website so it’s now easier for you to get products, find out about every mayamada character and see events past and present.
Here are some of the changes…
We’ve brought together all the main mayamada highlights in one place so you can get a better picture of what’s new with mayamada at any time.
Our shop has been given a major overhaul for 2013. More items are now available available to purchase. Not only t-shirts but caps, accessories and the new Samurai Chef manga book.
You can also create your own account to view order status and history. And as always, we accept all major credit cards or you can pay with your Paypal account.
The blog has been brought into the main site so you can always come back to mayamada.com to see what the latest news is.
You can also check out out our Facebook Page to get involved with the brand.
It has be a long time coming but character profiles are now up on the site as well as manga for each. This includes an online preview of the Samurai Chef manga.
Right now you can take a look at the 11th Hour, Hot lunch and Samurai Chef shows. Before the year is up, expect to see this section of the website grow with more shows and more characters.
Take a closer look at the mayamada cast of characters >
You can also keep up to date with all mayamada event past and present in one place.
The events section is the place to find out the next event coming up, or to see a selection of videos and photos from events gone by so you never miss out.
And for the full photo galleries, you can always head to our Facebook page.

But don’t just take our word for it. Have a look for yourself ^_^
