Gaultier redesigned tie (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ligature

'tie' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gaultier redesigned' is the wordplay.
'redesigned' is an anagram indicator.
'gaultier' is an anagram of 'LIGATURE'.

(Other definitions for ligature that I've seen before include "It bids to restrict blood flow" , "Thread used to constrict the flow of blood" , "Tie; bandage" , "Something used to tie" , "Bandage, binding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
