Tod's Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear

Matteo Tamburini began the fall collection with protection on his mind. “Perhaps this search comes from the times we live in—not as a form of closure but as a desire to remain grounded,” he reflected. “For me, continuing to create is a conscious choice. It comes from the need to still believe in the value of making, in the handcrafted, in time, in quality as an act of responsibility. Offering the body a form of shelter today is my way of staying present.” On his mood board were images of sculptures by Marta Pan and Henry Moore, artists who worked on the idea of form in relation to the body. They were pinned alongside patchworks by Sterling Ruby and black and white photographs by Daido Moriyama. References, more often than not, have a habit of sounding more convincing in theory than in the fitting room; somewhere along the way, they tend to get lost in translation. In Tamburini’s hands, however, the conversation between inspiration and expression stays sincere, the thread never merely conceptual.
