Tod’s Fall 2025 Collection
The Tod’s Fall 2025 show not only reaffirmed the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship but also encapsulated a modern, understated luxury through refined silhouettes and exquisite materials. Under the creative direction of Matteo Tamburini, the collection seamlessly merged sartorial precision with the sensuality of textures.
The venue, Milan’s PAC Contemporary Art Museum, made a bold statement. Upon entering, guests were met with Carla Bruni standing majestically on a pedestal, draped in a sculptural gown made from fragments of recycled leather. This installation, created by Nelly Agassi, symbolized Tod’s commitment to artisanal excellence, a value long championed by the brand’s owner, Diego Della Valle.
Tamburini explored the materiality of fashion through references to Carla Accardi, Alberto Burri, and Lucio Fontana, Italian artists known for their experimental approach to texture. Brushed alpaca coats in striking black and white, trench coats with trompe-l’œil effects, and impeccably crafted leather pieces translated artistic inspiration into wearable desirability. A standout was a double-breasted mohair coat, with buttons strategically placed along the sides, modernizing Tod’s signature tailoring and redefining this season’s silhouette.
Accessories further elevated the collection: the iconic Gommino was reimagined in plush python leather, while the W.G. ankle boot took on a sleek, structured Chelsea boot form. Handbags like the Di Bag Folio in patchwork and the newly redesigned Wave—now lighter and more flexible—reinforced the balance between tradition and contemporary elegance.
With this collection, Tamburini refines his visual language, propelling Tod’s into a new era of understated sophistication, where heritage craftsmanship seamlessly intertwines with a modern approach to dressing. As Della Valle aptly stated before the show, “Machines will never replace our artisans,” a reminder that in luxury fashion, true sophistication lies in the human touch.
