MILAN
In the wake of creative director
Alessandra Facchinetti’s departure in
2016, the Italian house’s design team
chose to focus on outerwear—an apt
decision, considering that Tod’s is
a leather house. There were classic
trenches in supple nappa, cinched with
a black obi or sporting a storm flap in
caramel leather with white piping, a
classic Tod’s colour combo. Leather
was also worked into whisper-weight
suppleness for a paper leather blouson
shirt and matching full skirt, and exotics
were showcased in a black crocodile
jacket. The showstopper: a puffer
moto jacket that was just this side of
oversized. As for the accessories, a Sella
handbag (above) in delicious shades
of chocolate, and lace-up taupe suede
boots (below) with high stacked heels
were both commercial and covetable.TOD'S
