This November I had the pleasure of hosting two events for Tod’s at their London flagship store on Old Bond Street and in Paris on Rue Faubourg Sant Honoré to showcase the latest Autumn/Winter collection from creative director Walter Chiapponi.
It was fun to see signature accessories blend with the latest collection, which has a big focus on Italian craftsmanship, design and manufacturing.
Many garments and bags feature handmade details, such as hand stitching and embroidery, crocheted elements on pockets and patch collars on coats.
It wasn’t just about how to wear the collection, but also about the heritage of Tod’s, the genesis and ideas behind Walter’s design aesthetic, his inspiration and the language of how he sees Tod’s for autumn/winter.
It’s a collection you have to wear, try and feel, pick up, touch the fabrics and try on the shoes that are so comfortable they invite long walks in the city or countryside.
Here are my favourite looks that I put together in London and Paris.
