Tod’s redefines Italian leisurewear with a soft-spoken, head-to-toe presentation centered on craftsmanship, comfort, and quiet confidence
Under the open sky at Villa Necchi Campiglio, Tod’s reimagined the codes of classic Italian leisure for Spring/Summer 2026 with a presentation that fused warmth, craftsmanship, and quiet luxury. Titled Gommino Club, the showcase doubled down on the brand’s lifestyle ethos, placing its iconic driving shoe—the Gommino—at the heart of a broader, texture-rich collection.
Creative Director Matteo Tamburini leaned into ease and softness, pairing ultra-light silhouettes with a tactile material story that emphasized movement and comfort without sacrificing elegance. The standout? Pashmy, a proprietary leather developed for its silky finish and featherweight feel, was woven throughout the offering in jackets, unstructured blazers, and soft accessories.
The outdoor staging echoed the brand’s core themes: freedom, functionality, and refinement. Crisp white chairs displayed rows of loafers in sun-faded hues, while a cheerful concierge booth—complete with a bellboy—greeted guests, bringing a touch of playful hospitality to the grounds.
In addition to the updated Gommino styles, marked by a subtle “Red Dot” as a nod to craftsmanship, Tod’s introduced Travel-wool tailoring, saddle-buckle detailing, and an unstructured loafer in Pashmy and nappa leather that felt particularly apt for a new era of casual elegance.
Even the accessories followed suit. The Di Bag Folio tote and a trekking-inspired backpack in Pashmy and canvas nodded to utility, while the Greca Belt—blending rope and leather—offered a final touch of Riviera nonchalance.
With Gommino Club, Tod’s brought together heritage, softness, and the Italian art of living well—confirming that the future of men’s fashion might just be more relaxed, but no less refined.
