TEF's bodywear collection is an intimate proof of concept project to test and manufacture next to skin apparel using TEF's new automated manufacturing process.to make an entire garment.
TEF uses heritage lace braiding machines to produce fabric that IS the apparel. The designs exhibit tensionally balanced fabric construction with zonally patterned qualities to address breathability, movement, comfort and support. |
