Tod’s SS25: Matteo Tamburini explores the conjunction between craftsmanship and modernity
Words DOMENICO COSTANTINI
In the vortex of a textile universe, Tod’s stands as the guardian of ancestral knowledge, a hymn to craftsmanship that merges with the intelligence of the present. Innovation does not cancel tradition; on the contrary, the skilled hands that shape the leather tell stories of a culture that is handed down, reflecting the essence of “Made in Italy”. Lorenzo Quinn, the sculptor of visions, transmits the essence of creation through two hands that clasp in an embrace of woven leather: a gesture, a seal of mastery. Here, art becomes the heartbeat of a culture that renews itself, a silent dialogue between tradition and the future.
The Spring-Summer 2025 collection, guided by the silent inspiration of Matteo Tamburini, evokes the Mediterranean as a path of light and shadow, where luxury becomes subtle and functionality dances with beauty. The materials, an ode to nature, reveal a wardrobe that breathes, articulated in volumes that suggest more than they show, a dress for every shade of the self. The trench coat, fluid and multifaceted, moves like a wave, while jackets and shirts in crepe mélange blend in an evocative sartorial language. The natural palette, a hymn to the earth, reflects the textures of an interior landscape: stone, sand, sea, all shades that speak in whispers and shadows. The Gommino, an icon of savoir-faire, reinvents itself in its “glove” dress, where leather rings intertwine in a reference to timeless elegance. The lightness of the sandals, embellished with the “Barretta” accessory, evokes the freedom of being, a step towards infinity. The bags, the fruit of ancient art, tell stories of exclusive materials. The Di Bag Folio, in a dance of textures, is combined with the Di Bag Swing, creating a harmony of ochre and bronze tones, while the “Barretta” detail infuses a breath of simplicity into a complex world.
Tod’s invites us to contemplate the essence of making, a journey through the folds of time and space, where each piece is a fragment of history, an echo of eternal elegance. Craftsmanship thus reveals itself as a universal language, a song that resonates in the soul.
