It’s a collection thought for modern and elegant women that one introduced by the Italian brand in the Milanese Fashion WeekEither powerful and resolute like the Lipstick Jungle actresses, or romantic and transgressive like the Sex and the City stars. Cynical, hard-fighting, always trendy! They are the Iron Ladies of Tod’s that – for the Autumn-Winter 2012/13 – has imagined a both dynamic and urban woman who is able to manage and extricate herself among all the metropolis traps. A woman who works and takes care of herself. A woman who loves both the refined details and the innovative lines. And so, the modern and womanly shapes of bags and shoes become the expression of a strong and absolutely personal taste. It’s the XXth century Villa Necchi Campiglio, in the heart of Milan, to host the collection introduction event. For this occasion, the elegant rooms have been turned into a chaotic and glamour New York avenue, a “path” that introduces the new and – at the same time – tells the story of a totally Italian brand in which the tradition and the future join together in a unique soul. It’s the manufacturing high quality that draws the attention. The wealth of details and the manufacture accuracy are able to make each item unique. It’s the made in Italy artisans’ insurmountable skills that fascinate and conquer…The agony and the ecstasy, the Tod’s winter-shoes reply to the persuasive call of the perfection. Monk strap ankle boot and décolleté: here are the must-have of the season! Luxury and preciosity become the key to the success. No more words are needed. The weight, the accurate use of the materials and the perfect seaming could be sufficient, by themselves, to represent the whole Fashion House know-how. Elegant and light, the ankle boots give birth to a new style which is sophisticated and casual at the same time. Inbrushed calf skin and soft suede, the to-the-knee boots are rendered unique thanks to the chunky 10 cm heel. On the other hand, for the décolleté a new heel, padded in leather, has been created. The extremely light plateau and the visible leather sole give the shoes an original and harmonious aspect. The coloured suede slippers and the flat loafers with tassels in classic brush or metallic calf skins play together in a classical and modern mix. Revised and adjusted, the iconic Gommino, an actual symbol of the brand, has been reinterpreted and either turned into the plateau rubber sole or dressed with the leopard-print pony skin: très chic!New shapes have been conceivedfor the bags, too. A both aesthetic and functional pleasure. The new models represent the concrete translation of the company concept. An innovative design has been developed for the everlasting Miky Bag. The rounded construction and the “selleria” touch – highlighted by the contrasting seaming – have a fundamental role in this bag. Well-groomed in all details and produced in soft calf skin, also the bigger version of the bag, with the handle and the shoulder belt, is extremely functional.Anyway, it’s the D Bag Luxury that takes the breath away! An evolution of the classical model in in a super-luxurious hide, this wonderful bag features a full leather lining. Soft, with a hand-cut finish and a contemporary silhouette, it’s available in different versions and materials. Either in precious tie-and-dye crocodile and calf skin with bright sheep skin details, or more rectangular in coloured soft calf and sheep skin. The shopper, already a classic, is bigger and more elegant than before. Even it in calf skin, it’s the ideal bag for the women of Tod’s who love travel and balance between work and family life. The collection is finally made more complete by a wide range of new tiny shoulder bags and by the oversized clutches available in two tones and with a new metallic clip closure.As already underlined, the materials that have been used are among the most valuables: from crocodile to sheep, from the distinctive Tod’s vacchetta leather (the real trademark) to the astrakhan. The colours burst in a wonderful rainbow. There are the purple and the petrol blue, the mandarin and the cherry red. The dark olive green, the mustard, the metallic gold. There are also the natural hues of the brown and the beige, the black and the white.Audacious and open-minded but romantic and womanly at the same time, here there are the today’s ladies of Tod’s and – quoting the famous words uttered by the great Madonna in non-suspicious days – it’s the case to say: “Girl power!”Luca Imbimbo
