ernesto michahelles (1893-1959) was an italian artist. Known by his stage name of thayaht, ernesto michahelles, with an initial formative construction substantially self-taught and a subsequent continuous growth based on his eclecticism, was a sculptor, painter, photographer, designer, architect, inventor and goldsmith. He was therefore an extremely multifaceted and innovative artist, a forerunner of new sensibilities: his work stands out for its synthetic lines and forms, which express exquisite elegance through precise geometry. It was tommaso marinetti who enlisted him in futurism. He also worked, immediately acquiring great fame, in the field of fashion following his meeting in paris in 1918 with madeleine vionnet for whom he designed garments with chromatic combinations and geometric combinations that were innovative for the time. He was the inventor, in 1919-1920, with his brother ram, of the overall (in addition to the certain conception of the garment, many also attribute to him the coining of the neologism).
