Alternative Leeds Alternative Leeds: a behind-the-scenes look at Birds Yard
We glimpse inside Leeds' newCorn Exchange - the wonderfully quirky Birds Yard
Since the Corn Exchange evolved from its bohemian original self into the sleek contemporary location we have now, Leeds has been noticeably low on the alternative, independent shopping front. So when Birds Yard appeared on the scene, Leeds independent and creative talent found a new home.
Gathering a friendly team of local talent, Michelle Watson of Birdshell Vintage (mother of Birds Yard) has created an incredible shopping location at 83 Kirkgate, which brings together an eclectic mix of stalls with a unique and magnificent creative retail space. Birds Yard has truly recaptured the spirit of the old style Corn Exchange.

This fortnight, Bex is in a fashion fix
Ok, so I am well aware that the fashion industry is extremely fast moving, but never am I more painfully conscious of this than in these sunnier (well, supposedly sunnier) months.

Going to Portugal next month? Anna Wintour doesn’t care. Vogue have had the end of…
