Designer Alex Szabo-Haslam has created a new 'Citee' t-shirt collection that'll let you represent your hometown in style. The collection features printed out maps of famous cities from all around the world.

These black and white [printed t-shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order) come in 80 different unique designs, and each features an incredibly detailed mapping of an [iconic world city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-city-tote). The designer uses online data to find these print designs of roads and waterways from such famous destinations like London, Toronto, Tokyo and New York City.

Each Citee design is also printed on high-quality [unisex American Apparel tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curve-by-the-shirt-company) using a fabric dying technique. The design process was specially made so the city map image does not fade, crack or peel away from extended washing.
