Tod’s Art is in the Details
Hands were the undisputed protagonist of Tod’s Spring-Summer 2025 runway show, conceptually and physically. Matteo Tamburini’s latest collection was presented amidst a monumental installation by sculptor Lorenzo Quinn, who created two gigantic mobile hands that worked strips of leather throughout the show. Around the room, behind the guests, a row of artisans dressed in white sew and create, strengthening the concept of manic attention to detail.
On the runway, leather takes centre stage in all its nuances. From trench coats to pants (sometimes skinny, more often soft) to the moment of a leather dress worked in soft and floating pleats. The most occurring nuance is leather, and when the collection dares, the colours resemble spring, between a confit yellow, a candy green, and an unripe cherry red.
As in Tod’s DNA, accessories make all the difference: from bucket bags to V-opening handbags. The gem of the fashion show is the leather lighter holder that several models (and even Matteo Tamburini) wear around their necks. Here, the concept is all about subverting the need for jewellery with an accessory that is utility and, at the same time, cool. In the grand finale, Naomi Campbell, Irina Shayk and Maria Carla Boscono walked the runway. On the front row were, among others: Mahmood, Ashley Graham and Nana Eikura.
