Han L. Lee released an art inspired retro line entitled “The Public Zoo” was unveiled at the Pool apparel show in Las Vegas, February the 18, 2009. The Public Zoo is a co-op between the artistic creator of Bobby Jack, Han L.  Lee, and a premium fashion house. Han L. Lee has taken inspiration from his personal experiences in recent travels to the Shinjuku and Harajuku districts in Tokyo as well as the Apkujong district in Seoul.

The Public Zoo is a mixture of ultra cool art inspirations of Asia and the layback fashion style of Southern California.  Han drew heavily from retro Asian character art (especially the 80’s), anime, high fashion, and the creativity and ingenuity that have become synonymous with his other characters and brands.

The brand is committed to bringing the finest garments and fresh innovative designs to the fashion forward and trendsetter. The character driven line will incorporate premium garments along with innovative fabrics, washes, and dyes. The Public Zoo collection is set on pushing the limitations of design by creating a perfect medium between art and fashion, and incorporating it into the apparel line and accessories
