For Those in Travel Mode
So WTF is FT now?
It's a vibe! Foreign Tongues is a saucy lifestyle brand that uplifts the creative spirit and upholds the pursuit of joy–the common thread that connects us as humans.
Inspired by pattern play on our travels, we design statement jumpsuits, patches, and mending kits, all while bumpin’ to a discothèque soundtrack.
Our products and services are infused with a sense of joie de vivre and a deep respect for the planet.
Why one onesie though?
One and done! One jumpsuit and one print keeps things simple. In addition to the environmental advantages, focusing on one print at a time allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the color story–the feeling it evokes, the vibe. Since we're treating the jumpsuit as a canvas, we decided to devote ourselves to natural fibers because clothing is a second skin. So, we are committed to 100% cotton, 100% linen, and 100% raw silk for our signature tags.
Where are you coming from with these shenanigans?
Who knows! But we're doing it anyway. We believe that humans innately seek happiness and beauty, and that–if we try–we can find these in mundane, seemingly small, moments. We can weave magic with our very hands–even before all the tech sorcery. It's all about interconnections, man, and the most powerful beauty is optimistic and confident. So... why not?
Who's behind the camera?
A village.* And a couple of Swedipinos... Scandinasians, if you will! Brooklyn-based Filipina-American & Swedish creative duo Adette C. Contreras & Måns Swanberg dreamed up this jumpsuit-focused apparel brand (and band!) on a roadtrip, singing along loudly to some French disco. One thing led to another, and Foreign Tongues launches into the world–one audaciously-printed, generously-pocketed, loosely-fitted one-piece at a time.
*Footnote Moment
Stay tuned for tales of our creative collaborators, inspiring co-conspirators, and fellow magic-weavers. It truly does take a village. Thank you 🙏🏽
The MENDING
Inspired by Kintsugi
Introducing our first release, Burbujas! We named it the Spanish word for bubbles (or bubbly, like champagne), and it reminds us of spirited catch-up conversations with old friends by the sea, confetti birthday parties, and the speckled floors of a freshly painted apartment. It's a small run (hopefully, the smallest!) since it's our inaugural print for Soundcheck Summer, as we test out these waters.
