‘Japan was a really important trip for me and also for moreFIRE. It was
my first time working internationally and it has done amazing things
for cementing our place in the fashion industry. Tokyo was completely
overwhelming, every single day. Within the first five minutes of walking
the street, you’ll come across the coolest looking person you have ever
seen. The guys and the girls just really go to the next level to try and
stand out from one another.
With the trip being our first international production and not having too
many connections, we set about finding models, MUA’s and hair stylists
using social media. One friend introduced us to another friend who
introduced us to another friend… and the next thing we had a team.
There was a lot of pressure around language barriers and some difficulty
with location permits, but ultimately it all just worked out... Misaki Hara,
our hair and MUA, was insane!’ – Grant Payne
