The Yokan Show is held on SATURDAY of the convention.
All AnimeSTL attendees are welcome to apply to model for a brand, regardless of their size, gender identity, or ability. Your participation in the show is on a volunteer basis. All models must have an AnimeSTL badge to participate, no exceptions.

Mana MoonFounded by artists, we specialize in creating custom merchandise using our very own illustration skills and design intuition.

Iris Garden x Haenuli
Haenuli and Iris Garden combined their unique visions of Harajuku fashion to create the Iris
Garden x Haenuli, sister brand in 2023, bringing chillingly charming wonders to life for the Lolita community they proudly call home. As experienced, collaborative, and reliable guests, we are committed to delivering high-quality fashion shows and professional booth presentations at every event.
Haenuli AKA Nunu, a beloved illustrator best known for The Story You Don’t Know, is the
creative force behind the whimsically charming Lolita fashion brand Haenuli. Her unique blend

Have a coord you’re tired of wearing? Have some accessories that don’t match your wardrobe? Bring them to trade or sell them to fellow Jfashion Enthusiasts! Jfashion Swap Meets are ideal for those trying to clean up their wardrobe, gain new pieces and/or meet new enthusiasts. Simply bring everything you no longer plan on wearing from your closet or just some cash to participate in the event.
Rules:
- All clothing must be Jfashion. If it is not, you will be asked to put it away. (Examples being jeans, t-shirts, etc…)
- Items do not have to be brand! However we do ask that no replicas be sold at our event.
- Upon leaving the event, you agree upon the terms Anime St. Louis is not responsible for the price, trades or exchanges done within the event. Please be sure to try on and inspect every piece you are interested in. Dressing tents will be provided.
