NEW YORK -- The thong sandal trend may be a thorn in legwear's side, but it's no longer a fashion snag for Karyn Cortani.
The 36-year-old Cortani recently founded Tohos, a new patented pantyhose with a full sheer foot and a mitten-like split toe suitable for thong sandals and other open-toe footwear designs.
"In the Seventies, I used to dig through my sister's closet and try on all these `Charlie's Angels'-type dresses and big, platform thong sandals," said the Palmdale, Calif.-based Cortani. "I always wanted to wear pantyhose with those sandals, but had to scrunch it up between my toes. It looks funny when women wear hosiery with sandals."
