Tod's Spring/Summer 2026: A Domain of Heritage

In an era dominated by microtrends, Matteo Tamburini's Tod's seeks inspiration from its history.

The adage states, “In fashion, one day you are in, and the next day you are out.” In today's dynamic environment, fashion rapidly evolves. The weathervane now shifts towards Generation Z and their need for nostalgia. From Y2K of the 2000s to baggy trousers of the ’90s to soccer-inspired blokecore, there is a pervasive nostalgia for past eras that individuals scarcely experienced.

However, Matteo Tamburini's Tod's represents a departure from sought-after trends and the appeal of nostalgia. Rather from pursuing current trends, Tamburini leverages the strength of legacy, revisits the brand's origins, and reinterprets its archives for contemporary preferences.

The Spring/Summer 2026 collection serves as tangible evidence. Showcased in Villa Necchi Campiglio — an architectural masterpiece maintained in its pristine condition, reflecting Tod’s dedication to heritage — the collection highlights its emblematic Gommino. The Gommino Club, the collection's namesake and a symbol of its global acclaim, aptly introduces a tribute to its century-old past.

Tod’s collection reinforces its expertise in Italian craftsmanship and its commitment to maintaining its heritage. The outcome is a proposal characterized by refined silhouettes, high-quality fabrics, and seamless wearability. Designed for unhurried life and outdoor activities, coats offer flexibility, trousers are tailored to move with the body, and footwear is engineered to be exceptionally lightweight.

The collection is enhanced by Pashmy, a signature element of Tod’s, made from the highest quality leathers. The handcrafted craftsmanship is evident in classic men's essentials such as the bomber jacket, unstructured blazer, and coach jacket. Pashmy is not the sole highlight. Tod's also offers a variety of casual garments in crêpe, satin, and linen-silk mixes, providing a sense of freedom for sunlit living.

In an age dominated by microtrends, Tod’s recognizes its core strengths. Rather of pursuing trend cycles, Matteo Tamburini utilizes the brand's illustrious history, capitalizing on its esteemed legacy and revered craftsmanship. Ultimately, heritage possesses the greatest enduring significance.
