Tod's Features PASHMY for FW24

Tod’s unveils the Pashmy Project for FW24, emphasizing materiality and inspired by the nuances of pashmina.

Exceptional materiality has been integral to the Tod’s identity. This dedication to craftsmanship has consistently endured and has intensified under the leadership of Matteo Tamburini, who has steered the house towards Artisanal Intelligence since his appointment in December. His inaugural collection for Fall Winter 2024 exemplified this perfectly, as the heritage house elevated tactile finesse to unprecedented levels, accompanied by novel sensitivity. The brand's iconic Italian elegance remains prominent in the collection, now infused with a subtle yet discernible sense of innovation. This innovation is primarily experienced through touch rather than sight, with each interaction with the current collection highlighting heightened senses.

The Pashmy Project, the most recent endeavor in the house's exploration of craftsmanship, is driving this initiative forward. Coinciding with the debut of its FW24 collection, Pashmy showcases materials that have been universally recognized as the most special, rare, and valuable. The Pashmy emphasis is derived from the delicacy of pashmina and runs parallel to the soft fabric. The softness of pashmina is redefined through the delicate textures of suede, leather, and other materials, showcasing the house's opulent expertise.

Consider the quintessential form of a Bomber Jacket, for example. Instead of its customary heavy-duty leather or durable nylon ripstop, Tod’s chooses to utilize a refined lambskin suede to create this adaptable garment for the season. Consequently, comfort and style are not alternatives a wearer must select between. Rather, they are seamlessly integrated — skillfully, we should add — into a unified image of modern, contemporary athleticism, and through an artisanal process that further emphasizes the house’s adept craftsmanship. Within the Pashmy collection, one can find essential items such as leather sneakers, the luxurious Di Bag, and the notably bold Bubble Gommino. Each piece adheres to the brand's enduring dedication to understated elegance while enhancing the tactile experience with every touch.
