BACK TO SCHOOL

The results of the Tod’s Academy initiative are being presented during London Fashion Week this month. For the programme, 33 aspiring young designers from Central Saint Martins in London were selected to interpret Tod’s “codes” and create new products. Students were also matched with a roster of renowned mentors, including international editors and designers, to help them along the way. “This is a beautiful project that supports students and at the same time brings unusual and innovative points of view to Tod’s,” says Diego Della Valle, chairman of Tod’s.
