Wearing Art History
The enigmatically-named Aloha From Deer is a Polish apparel company that’s making the most of digital fabric printing technologies. We’ve been watching this trend of image-infused fashion develop on our tumblr for a while but judging by the number of out-of-stock designs, we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of digital printing’s impact on fashion. Not suggesting it’s a totally new phenomenon but with access to fabric-capable digital printers increasing, the possibilities continue to grow. Aloha From Deer is (at least somewhat) unusual in their mining of Art History for design possibilities.
Note Boticelli’s Venus on the right legging.

They should totally print a sweatshirt that looks like you are wearing a tuxedo. That would be hilarious. Bet you could sell a million of those.

It serves as more of a “insane, printing concepts” blog rather than actual showcase of actual products, but is a pretty interesting way to approach the process– especially since digital mocks are so prevalent in garment decoration.
I believe they also use an outfit in poland to produce their purchasable designs.
