Abstract

The inspiration for Tongue Tied was the shoe. The intent of this design was to take elements used in the construction of a shoe such as fabric, fastening systems and overall look or design of a specific shoe and use them in the construction of a garment. The elements selected were 100% cotton duck canvas, eyelets and lacings that are often used as fastenings, and the rainbow sandal designed in 1938 by Salvatore Ferragamo.
