Tom (aka Sohung Tong) specializes in creating women's belts, vests, dresses and coats out of men's ties and shirts. Tom's men's fashion is focused on redesigning or updating used clothing or samples. All Tom's designs are hand made in New York's East Village out of materials from his neighborhood (or close to it) that he and his wife stitch themselves. Born in China, Tom learned his craft from his father, who was a tailor.
Pictured above are two of Tom's colorful women's creations made from men's ties. Below, is a handsome men's sweater embellished with denim. Tom says, "My jackets (men's) are my canvas. I use other materials (leather, wool, cotton) to put on them." Aren't these wonderful designs? Go to Sohung Designs to see more. I found Sohung Designs on OutsaPop Trashion.
