Gift of Yeohlee Teng, Yeohlee
Object number2011.24.2
Yeohlee Teng was born into a family of architects. Her lifelong passion for the discipline has been a key source of inspiration, as seen in this geometrically cut jacket that can be molded by the wearer. Such mutability is also evident in Yeohlee’s commercial spaces; these clean lined interiors include retractable walls that were designed by her late partner, Joerg Schwartz. Teng’s clothing and interiors also reflect her commitment to sustainability and local clothing production in New York City.
