Digital printing has a relatively short history, since the 1990s....Most recently designers adapted to fabric printing on wide rolls of fabric. Cost may be prohibitive to small designers but the one constant and advantage of digital printing is short run and quickly. Digital printing can be done in very small quantities - even less than one meter - and designs can be custom printed.
The more adventurous and artistically minded designers were leaders in the digital-print movement - think Alexander McQueen, Mary Katrantzou and Erdem Moralioglu. Australian designers also in that set were fast to pick up on this and some of the first to utilize this new technology included Josh Goot, Lisa Ho, Carl Kapp, Willow and Tina Kalivas.
