DIY designer and all-around creative Warren Lotas started painting on clothes for a simple reason: "The stuff what I wanted just wasn't around." Aesthetically, Lotas' garments are an amalgam of experiences; be it biker culture, horror movies or old episodes of The Simpsons. With a little bit of help from fashion wunderkinds Luka Sabbat and Austin "Asspizza" Butts, Lotas' hand-painted flannels, jeans and jackets have ended up on celebrities like Wiz Khalifa — yes, he is responsible for some of Wiz's 'cool pants' that Kanye West alluded to in that infamous, 17-part Twitter exchange.
Lotas dropped by HYPEBEAST to talk shop and paint a custom, one-of-one denim jacket.
