Tod’s art is in the details
In the runway where Tod’s Spring/Summer 2025 Collection was presented, the focus is on hands, conceptually but also physically. Matteo Tamburini’s creations are framed by an installation of two enormous hands working strips of leather, created by sculptor Lorenzo Quinn. Around the room, behind the guests, a row of artisans dressed in white sew and create, strengthening the concept of a maniacal attention to details.
On the runway, leather takes center 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. Most occurring nuance is leather, and when the collection dares, the colors resemble spring, between a confit yellow, a candy green, 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 jewelry 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.
