My Thoughts:

These 3 girls are my favorites this week, all of them were very friendly and nice too. Amelia's boyish look and her height makes her stand out in the crowd, and I think her worn Topshop boots look even better than if they were new. I also like how Mary uses different socks to create youthful playfulness while counter-balancing that with a boyfriend shirt. I was especially impressed by Rosie's use of accessories, her way of using a brooch on her scarf, choosing chain instead of leather belt, and ankle socks which I love just complete her girly style.

Let The Cool Hunting Begin!

I have been cool hunting in a number of different cities in the past, Taipei, Beijing, Barcelona, and now Leeds. So far I have been surprised... in a good way. All the people I've photographed have been very friendly, they stop and listen, respond well, and as you can see, they all have amazing smiles.

We have started cool hunting in Leeds because we think it's important to follow the real trends on the street, what people are wearing. And maybe we can find out what makes fashion in Leeds different to other cities. -Stp
