We Printed It! Graffinis digitally printed nylon tricot for swimwear

Graffinis — a New York based swimwear company run by Paul Cartelli —  draws inspiration from graffiti, street signs and transit maps from New York City. Photos taken around the city, of graffiti, street signs, maps and other iconic New York sightings are placed within the boundaries of engineered panels (bottom back, bottom front, top right, top back) which are then digitally printed on swimwear fabric and finally sewn into suits. Engineered panels allow you to layout and print only what is needed for the suit itself, lessening the amount of fabric and ink that would otherwise go to waste while silmotaniously simplifying the cut and sew stage of production. PS. They make scarves too.
