Ernesto Michahelles, better known as Thayaht was inspired by the concepts of functionality expressed by Giacomo Balla. He invented the famous suit Tuta, designed as a cheap, unisex, uniform overall where the shirt, jacket, and trousers were condensed into a single piece of practical, simple, hygienic, and synthetic clothing.
