Label Text:Techniques of computer printing onto synthetic textiles developed during the 1990s. They allowed for the reproduction of detailed images with saturated color palettes, including photographs. Todd Oldham embraced this state-of-the-art technique to create a series of garments with images from a magazine titled "Arizona Highways".
