Warren Lotas Uses a Punk Inspiration for the 'Sam' Collection
Riley von Niessen — June 13, 2016 — Fashion
Warren Lotas crafts a series of casual streetwear pieces using hand-painted graphic art and a clear punk inspiration for the 'SAM' collection.
Included are a number of differently colored flannel long sleeves, white and black crew necks and faded denim jeans and jackets. Each of the products features Warren Lotas' own designs, with his unique art appearing on the backs of shirts and jackets and along the legs of jeans. The pieces are relaxed in cut, with the shirts meant to be oversized and the denim jeans baggy and relaxed. Despite the causal unisex looks offered in the SAM collection, the quality material that Warren Lotas incorporates into each design is evident from afar and the hand-painted graphics make them truly one of a kind, mixing a 70s punk inspiration with a more modern element.
