Flour, water, farm fresh egg and a pinch of salt. Simple ingredients combined to create the daily Italian essential, pasta. With a tweak here and there, a simple deft of hand and a slight recalibration, what is essential can be special and yet remains a daily requirement is the inspiration for TOD'S SS2012 collection. The highlight of the shoes is the “Ago” (needle) sandal, which is based on a historical construction of the brand now revisited by designer Derek Lam for the season. This is a classic shape built on flowing lines that have been refreshed and modernised. The key element here is the handmade craftsmanship, evident in how the rubber sole has been modeled to join with one single piece of leather – expertly hand sewn together to give the sandal the look of saddlery. With these high heels the perfect material to use is benson (half calf), which can be worked to accentuate the lines. Since the shoemaking involved in creating this model is so specialised, the “Ago” is an extraordinary, exclusive model.
As for the bag, the new Tod’s shopper is an elegant, minimal piece, bearing the distinctive mark of expert craftsmanship in its construction. The material is exquisitely soft, natural calfskin, which appears almost translucent, allowing the colour of the leather to shine through and not forgetting the iconics D-Styling is a simple evolution of the original D-Bag design, rendering the style in precious materials. Created in the most beautiful leathers and made to the highest levels of craftsmanship and technical expertise, the D-Styling is super-soft, with a natural finish and contemporary silhouette. Similarly, the House’s famous Gommino loafer and the Ballerina are proposed in extraordinary new colours and materials, and feature luxury details such as silk trim, pearls and precious metals.
