Skrillex, a celebrated music producer who's widely known for his dubstep style, has shown off his fashion expertise with a new OWSLA series.

In order to promote the pieces that comprise it, the creative curated a minimalist editorial. For the shoot, Skrillex employed the talents of Luke Vicious and Aubrey Kia, who acted as the style directors, as well as Marilyn Hue, who lensed it.

On the majority of the pieces in the new OWSLA collection, hand-painted graphics are included boldly. This gives the oversized apparel an even more distressed look -- helping to add to its individuality. In addition to the label's branding, apparel also dons abstract portraits and whimsical shapes.
