Tod’s: ‘We want to remain very luxurious and high quality, but we need to move forward,’ said Tod’s president Diego Della Valle, of the launch of its ‘T-Factory’ project – a series of capsule collections to be created by guest designers, four times a year. The first designer on the roster is N°21’s Alessandro Dell’Acqua, who has brought what he defines as a ‘femininity and contemporaneity’ to Tod’s silhouettes. His collection includes the brand’s signature Gommino loafers reimagined as sling back sandals or as sock boots, alongside glossy leather trousers and trenchcoats, in Dell’Acqua’s signature nude, tan and black. ‘It’s been a great honour to design the collection,’ Dell’Acqua says.
