Tod’s Men Fall/Winter 2026 – 2027 / FW26 at Milan Men’s Fashion Week entitled THE ITALIAN TOUCH
Tod’s Men FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 – 2027, Collection is born from a vision that has always guided the brand: celebrating outstanding quality and the artisanal tradition of Made in Italy.
At the heart of collection stands the Winter Gommino, the ultimate expression of craftsmanship, skilled gestures, and time devoted to things done well. Its meticulous attention to detail and the excellence of its materials create a true narrative of savoir-faire and refinement. The proportions and sole mark a return to the origins, proving how this product transcends fashion and trends while preserving its identity and contemporary relevance. Suede versions are enhanced with cashmere or shearling linings, making the Winter Gommino an ideal companion for cold winter days in the mountains, while the version in refined antiqued leather highlights its versatility in urban settings. An emblem of Italian lifestyle, the Winter Gommino embodies a philosophy of understated luxury, where quality and good taste take precedence. Leather, Tod’s most iconic raw material, becomes the common thread running through the entire collection.
At the core of the ready-to-wear offering is the Pashmy project, a leather that represents the highest expression of Tod’s research and material selection. The name itself pays tribute to pashmina, evoking the same extraordinary softness and lightness. This exclusive material dresses the great classics of the wardrobe, such as the Coach Jacket in warm, sophisticated tones, and the Castello Jacket, an elegant interpretation of the blazer with patch pockets. The excellence of each piece is certified by the signature of a specialised artisan.
The Red Dot sneaker, an urban shoe that combines the highest level of craftsmanship with technological innovation, is distinguished by a red dot on the heel, a new symbol of belonging to the Tod’s world. Designed for a man who moves seamlessly between work and leisure, it stands out for its premium materials, flexible construction, elastic lacing, and ultra-light sole.
Tod’s Men FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 – 2027 collection is presented through the video The Italian Touch, set in the iconic Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan. Here, a group of friends gathers around a table, sharing moments of conviviality that capture the essence of the Italian art of living. An intimate and sincere atmosphere, where luxury is expressed through quality of life, relationships, and time spent together. The protagonists of the film are not models, but real people, chosen for who they are rather than what they represent. A story of authenticity and real life that marks a return to normalcy and spontaneity, values that are more central than ever today.
