Satellite Photo T-Shirts

Due Digitally Printed T-Shirts are Strikingly Odd Looking

— December 2, 2012 — Fashion
These unique digitally printed t-shirts come from Lithuanian fashion label 'Due.' They have released a series of vivid tees using satellite image captures of earth.

Some of the patterns aren't easily recognisable and look rather abstract. However, after taking a second glance, you start to see all the little details like random clouds or roads. One can find landscapes of all kinds around the globe, from glaciers to deserts. Some of the colors are definitely enhanced, and don't seem very natural, but again, this is fashion design, not a documentary.

The irritating thing with prints on t-shirts is that they either wash out or feel like a big sticker. 'Due' seems to have solved this problem by using a technical fabric that's usually found in professional sportswear garments. These fabrics are synthetic in nature, but are more breathable, dry out faster and are extremely comfortable to wear in all conditions.
