MEN'S AND WOMEN'S
Wolford
Most clothing is cut from cloth and then sewn together; this Austrian house works from the opposite end, knitting a garment to its final shape on the machine so there is nothing left to seam. That single decision explains almost everything else about it. A bodysuit lies flat because there is no side seam to press into the skin, and a pair of tights can shift in density along the leg because the knit itself was programmed to.
From its base on Lake Constance the label has made fine-gauge legwear and bodywear its territory. Tights are graded by denier, from barely-there sheers through to solid opaques; bodysuits and close-cut tops apply the same knit to the upper body, and lingerie, dresses and skirts follow from there. The palette stays disciplined, and the interest lies in gauge, opacity and how a fabric behaves under stretch.
