Even the Teflon don would need to stick a napkin in his shirt before sitting down to a plate of spaghetti Bolognese - unless he had a Teflon shirt. And now there is one: In her spring-summer 1999 collection, Yeohlee Teng is introducing items made from fine Italian cotton coated with DuPont's protective Teflon finish to guard it from oil and water-based stains.
"Its forms a molecular bond with the fibers, giving it the surprisingly supple fabric into styles as varied as tank tops ($290) and tunics ($600.)
"It's in tune with what I'm doing, which is useful clothes that are functional, comfortable, bio-climatic and low-maintenance."
Ground-in substances or newspaper smudges will still require dry cleaning, but coffee, red wine, soft drinks and other liquids will slip off without even getting the fabric wet. The clothes will be at Henri Bendel, Takashimaya, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman at the end of November in basic black and - most important - in white.
