Wolford

The women's range is built on a premise most wardrobes ignore: what sits closest to the skin decides how everything above it hangs. Bodysuits with clean necklines and no side seam replace a top that would otherwise ride up. Hosiery runs from the near-invisible to the fully covering, so one shade can behave in half a dozen different ways depending on the weight you choose. The clothing is engineered rather than draped, and it shows in how flat it lies.

Beyond those foundations the range extends into fine-gauge dresses, skirts and leggings. Close-cut knit tops, lingerie and swimwear are worked in the same stretch fabrics. Black leads, with skin tones and a small run of colour behind it. Nothing is loud; the appeal is in fit, opacity and the way a knit recovers its shape after wear.
