A few months ago, Warren Lotas designed a selection of hand-painted apparel for the 'SAM' collection -- which drew heavily from punk motifs.
Now, the creative is back with over a dozen new pieces, with the vast majority adorned in unique handmade graphics. All of them were presented in an expansive lookbook titled 'MOVING PARTS' -- helping to highlight the unique embellishments. In addition to this, the images reinstate the demographic of consumers that they look to market to -- depicting an alternative lifestyle that those who veer from mainstream fashion tend to strive for.
Collectively, the pieces make up the 'MACHINE' collection, a name which works to reflect Warren Lotas' dark designs. As each is handmade, the apparel that's presented in MOVING PARTS is only available in limited quantities.
