We were always fascinated by the beauty of different textiles. When you see such detailed picture of the structure of some amazing fabric, you can definitely understand the whole world of exploration and development behind its creation. And you are just mesmerized by the beauty of it. So we started our THM MACROSHOTS editorial series, where we explore the complexity, depth and beauty of different fabrics, textiles, materials, and hardware through the macro lens.

Copper is considered one of the first technical metals used by humans. With the development of civilization it is used to create technical tools, water sterilization, communications, transport and electric power. Its ability to conduct heat and energy, killing bacteria and viruses, makes it a very promising material for clothing of the future. Vollebak team ventured into a new experiment and created a jacket consisting of about 11 kilometers of copper wire. Copper takes up 65% of the material in terms of composition, and the Swiss c_change ® membrane from Schoeller adds functionality as an outer shell. In addition, the fleece lining at the neck and in the pockets provides more comfort, making it viable for everyday use. Most recently, TIME magazine awarded it the status of "Best Invention of 2020", and we were able to capture and test it.

Here is our new THM Macroshot editorial, exploring this amazing jacket. This editorial was shot in 2 weeks span of daily use, so we could document the alteration of the outer layer.
