THM MULTI-MACRO EDITORIAL N1
[SUMMER 2024]
What makes us super excited when exploring functional apparel is the variety, complexity and the beauty of functional fabrics, textiles, materials and hardware. Seeing a detailed fabric structure that closely gives us a special delight – understanding the whole world of exploration and development behind the material made by the most passionate engineers and innovators of the industry.

Thus, we created the THM MACROSHOTS Editorial series to explore all of this through a macro lens and share our findings with you.

This time around we present THM MULTI-MACRO Editorial, a new format for our series to explore even more examples of functional excellence combined into a single publication, reviewing it all here for your ease and accessibility.
