From online magazines to fashion blogs, the Gommino -by Tod’s- revel on the web and they become the actual must-have of the season.

Do you want to be trendy without giving up comfort? Why to sacrifice your feet healthy with the so frightful 12 cm heel if you can be glamour with the most classic among the classics: the loafer? It’s clear, we are not speaking about common shoes. The brand – expression of the most authentic Made in Italy – is a guarantee of uniqueness and elegance in itself. But for the next Spring/Summer 2012 Tod’s has broken the conventional schemes by creating a limited-edition for all the new millennium women. A daring collection that wink its eye at the contemporary rock n‘ roll and animalié trends. A collection which is strong and that certainly does not betray the company concept. Nontraditional and timeless at the same time: the new models make all people agree!

Indiscretions and anticipations incessantly alternated in the past months. Just the fashion blogs started to chatter about the iconic Gommino and its new look for the spring. “A very young look!” somebody wrote. “Nonconformist and innovative!”, someone else replied. A long waiting but no disappointment at the end: Tod’ promises have been all kept!

Available from few months, the six exclusive models are making the whole world fans crazy. Starting from 430,00 euros (this is the starting price), the new loafers have already filled the international markets: the creativity and the acclaimed originality have been awarded again. “Where can we buy them?”, maybe you are wondering now. Nothing simpler. At Tod’s one-brand shops and corners (ask your trustworthy fashion blogger for further information).

Loyal to the “hand-made” tradition, even this time Tod’s has preferred to use fine materials. The natural soft skins have been rendered more precious by an amazing variety of wisely calibrated  details. It’s pure couture! Shocking pink (is it a veiled call to the mythic colour of Elsa Schiaparelli, the fashion house Diego Della Valle has just taken over?) and black beads mix together to create a python effect for the most urban-jungle model of the collection. And beads return also for the suede model: just sophisticated! On the other hand, the black and post-punk taste loafers have a metal  clasp with gold and silver paillettes. Bright, almost blinding the  suede models in which geometrical shapes and studs perfectly  joint together with the paillettes and beads plumpness. Romantic is the version characterized by precious silk embroidery and bright Swarovski.

You can wear them every hour in the day: from morning till night. Ideal for both jeans and mini-dresses, for both “alla-caprese” trousers and shorts. For a bon-ton and a sporty-chic mood but for the most current street-style, too. Tod’s has just reinterpreted its Gommino that, for the occasion, becomes a synonymous for de vieille élégante d’avant-garde …

And indiscretions have been finally replaced by comments and photos which run on the fashion blogs very fast. Do you need some advice? No problem, just ask…But, what is YOUR preference about?
