Lee Workwear to partner with tattoo artist Tal Booker for one-day pop-up
US denim giant Lee is teaming up with renowned tattoo artist Tal Booker for a one-day pop-up event on 8 May at The London Social tattoo studio at 85 Golborne Road in London’s Notting Hill, with a focus on the Lee Workwear SS26 collection.
Expanding on its ‘Built Like Lee’ campaign, the aim is “to celebrate local communities shaping London's creative scene” while also offering a closer look at the construction, detail and heritage that define the brand.
Visitors will be invited to receive free tattoos from Booker, known for his immaculate fine-line artistry, while exploring a curated edit of the Lee Workwear SS26 collection, with pieces displayed throughout the space.
The event also marks the release of the first edition of Lee Journal, a zine dedicated to storytelling from within local communities. Featuring conversations with creatives and independent traders from Golborne Road, including Booker, the publication “underscores Lee’s ongoing commitment to amplifying real voices and fostering meaningful cultural connections”.
Known for inking some of the UK’s most influential musicians, artists and tastemakers, from Mel C and Cat Burns to James Corden and Jessie J, Booker is described as “a cornerstone of Notting Hill's creative scene”.
The celebration of Lee Workwear, modern tattoo artistry, and neighbourhood identity opens up a wider conversation about brands, artists, and tastemakers re-centring local culture as “a driving force in modern style and self-expression”.
