Before there are printed patterns and adorning accessories, a look first and foremost starts with its material. The way it sculpts the body and feels against the skin, how it moves in harmony as you walk: these are the components that ultimately define a piece. Keeping this consideration at the heart of its SS23 collection, TOD’s has looked at the DNA of each fabric chosen to create a capsule that reaffirms the Italian brands beating heart: the luxury of impassioned craftsmanship.

Welcoming the Spring/Summer season with finely curated leathers, cotton and knit, Creative Director Walter Chiapponi combines staple pieces with iconic garments — boasting experimental constructions and proportions that elevate the ordinary whilst providing ample opportunity for innovation and personalisation. Transitioning from earthy palettes to summer-ready tones of burnt orange, daffodil yellow and burning red, the capsule perfectly compliments the natural shift within nature it is built to accommodate — proving how TOD’s attention to detail far outweighs the novelty of graphic prints.

Nonetheless, superseding all expectations, TOD’s marry quality craftsmanship with statement designs, incorporating python print into boxy trench coats. Elevating the pieces further, men’s style jackets are juxtaposed with leather slip dresses, wide hemline trousers are fastened with a cinched high wait and shirt dresses transition into sensual body-conscious body cons.

Finishing each look with a range of newly introduced accessories, including the bubble ballerina pumps, curled-seam moccasins and the iconic Di bag, TOD’s leaves the runway overwhelmed with its sleek new collection.
