    Look back at September

    September was a huge month for Hebe. We agreed two new projects with two completely different yet equally interesting brands (that we are announcing this week) and had our best ever month on the blog. Here we take a quick look at some of the best bits of September.

    Harvey Nichols were definitely on it during September: We hit Vogue Fashion Night Out, The Harvey Nichols x Land Rover Fashion Show and went to see the ace ICS at Harvey Nichols Freshers Event at Leeds University. This month promises to be just as busy as Leeds Fashion calendar kicks into over-drive during October.

    Our Week in Pics posts included things like our visits to Hyper Island Manchester, Abbey House Museum, Nigel Martyn & Sky Sports, Leeds Festival and Stockholm!

    Speaking of Stockholm, we also blogged about our recent trip there in 24 Hours in Stockholm along with the new Hebe Hits Stockholm Photo Gallery

    Shang Ting told us how Bubble Tea Will Change Your World and we also previewed the cool new collection from our friends at Kitschen Sink, who also featured in the recent Leeds in Barcelona project.

    One of the most read blog posts of September was my review of the 2011 LEP Summit. I dont think one post has resulted in so many DMs and emails. I think we said what a lot of people were thinking (something we are quite good at lol)  

    I also posted our first 'Hebe Hit List' post where we speak about the people and brands we want to work with in the next year. First up was the brilliant Corey Latif Williams.

    We hope you enjoyed checking in with us during September, it was nice to smash our record number of monthly visits on this blog and combined with more then 500,000 views on LOL! Leeds Online and 9,000,000+ on UK Observing Diary shows that people seem to be interested in what we are talking / shooting / filming about :)

    We have some really cool stuff planned for October. Lots of events, annoucements about new Hebe projects and much more, so check in when you can and say "hello".

    Leeds in Barcelona: The Showcase

    Last month we headed out to Barcelona for Leeds in Barcelona: A Creative Encounter. Here we concentrate on the second part of the project - Leeds Taylor which was a showcase event of creative talent from both Leeds and Barcelona. (You can check out the first part of the project here: The Conference)

    Leeds Taylor was held at the amazing Hotel ME in Barcelona. The idea behind the event from our point of view, was to showcase Leeds creative talent to massive audience of international opinion leaders and, more broadly speaking, further develop ties between the two cities. But rather then just go to Barcelona and try to 'sell' we wanted to create an experience that was more of a collaboration, something that was a one-off special project. To do this we teamed up with Marketing Leeds and our good friends LeLook and set about creating a platform where Leeds and Barcelona creatives could be seen together. For the fashion talent involved in the project this was in the form of a photo-shoot and catwalk show

    The soundtrack for the event was supplied first of all by Barcelona DJ and all round superstar DJ Mustache. Then followed a live performance from Leeds band ICS and they absolutely smashed it! Their performance included material from their new EP mixed up with some really cool covers including Nelly - Ride With Me, and Tinie Tempah - Pass Out. Then the showcase moved up to the 6th floor where the sounds of legendary Leeds club BacktoBasics and more specifically Dave Beer and Tristan Da Cunha kept the 1000 strong crowd entertained for hours more.

    ICS left a lasting impression on the Catalan crowd

    The showcase attracted more then 1000 people

    The reaction to the event in Barcelona was amazing. Loads of people from the Barca creative scene now want to visit Leeds and hook up with designers, artists, bands and DJs here. The directors of the European Institute of Design want to travel here this summer and discuss ways we can collaborate further. Spanish national television will feature the project in a show later this month, introducing millions more to what we created and drive more interest and awareness of Leeds as an interesting international creative city.

    Over the coming weeks we will report back on further fallout from the event including some of the next steps people are taking and we will post a copy of the spot on Spanish television. Discussions are taking place involving the talent featured in the project and we are sure that in the immediate and long term, some really cool things are going to emerge from this project.
