Matteo Tamburini, the creative force behind Tod's, is crafting a unique vision for the brand, all while encouraging personal style and comfort. But here's the twist: he's doing it with a distinct Italian flair! Since his appointment in late 2023, Tamburini has been refining Tod's aesthetic, emphasizing the importance of individual expression in fashion.
He believes in dressing naturally and effortlessly, and this philosophy is evident in his layering technique, which he adores. Tamburini infuses his personal taste into the brand while ensuring it remains accessible and relatable. His collections showcase the brand's evolution, particularly in leather craftsmanship and the celebration of the Italian way of life, which he sees as synonymous with luxury fabrics.
The Fall 2026 collection, presented alongside the video 'The Italian Touch,' was set in the iconic Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan. The video featured a circle of friends, including Gelasio Gaetani d'Aragona Lovatelli and Edoardo Ardizzone Bollati di Saint Pierre, enjoying each other's company, embodying the essence of Italian lifestyle and camaraderie.
This season, Tamburini expanded the Pashmyproject, introducing the Coach and Castello jackets, the latter a novel blazer with patch pockets. He also spotlighted the Red Dotsneaker, a flexible and lightweight design with a distinctive red dot, and the Winter Gommino, a brand classic made iconic by Gianni Agnelli. Tamburini's reinterpretation includes luxurious cashmere and shearling linings in the suede version.
The collection boasted standout suede and leather jackets paired with cozy turtleneck sweaters, fluid pants, and a mix of tailored blazers and versatile puffers, suitable for both mountain and urban environments. Tamburini's attention to detail and material innovation ensures that these seemingly simple garments reveal their true sophistication once worn, offering a unique experience.
