With the Tod’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, designer Matteo Tamburini set out to capture the languid ease of late summer. His vision was expressed through a sun-warmed palette of deep apricot, buttery yellow, tangerine, oyster white, and sand – shades that perfectly conveyed an understated sense of nonchalance.
Renowned for its supple leather, Tod’s provides Tamburini with a rich canvas for experimentation. Nappa leather shirts were styled with mini dresses, while their suede counterparts peeked out beneath softly crinkled coats. In one of the collection’s most striking gestures, leather was cut into fluid dresses that echoed silk scarves, striped and effortless, radiating desirability.
The theme of ever-so-slightly dishevelled elegance carried through the lineup. Sleeveless black and white ankle-grazing dresses, finished with raw-edged hems, emerged as standouts for their restrained yet tactile charm. A bouclé top interwoven with fine black leather strips was paired with a low-slung black leather pencil skirt, balancing polish with ease. Even tailoring was reimagined with a casual spirit: lightweight wool suits softened by airy sports jackets that suggested everyday wearability.
