Dan Wharton, Trinity Leeds marketing manager, said: “The latest arrivals at BLK BX offer an eclectic, diverse mix of both retail and art – something you don’t expect from your average shopping centre.

“We’re proud to offer a bold, exciting experience for visitors whilst providing a much-needed platform for local and international talent in fashion, music and art.”

Realist will launch its new store at BLK BX on July 4, offering the latest range of streetwear including t-shirts, tracksuits and jackets, as well as their popular summer collection, until July 29.

Meanwhile, shoppers can get their culture fix from Moniker Art Fair, which will showcase some of the best contemporary and urban art in collaboration with Graffiti Prints, with an eye-catching array of original artworks and limited edition prints. The Moniker Culture Leeds exhibition opens on Friday, July 5, and runs until Saturday, August 3.

Leeds-based abstract artist Nicolas Dixon will also display his work throughout the years, alongside a UK exclusive showcase of pieces by New York graffiti legend Sen-1.
