Tod’s has announced a collaboration, initiated last July as part of Tod’s academy with Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts for a project that celebrates and encourages the creativity of the young generation and combines their talent with the values of Tod’s.

 

33 young designers, selected by Central Saint Martins, were asked to give their own interpretation of one or more of Tod’s codes, focusing on the creative process that led to the final proposal. During the process, each student was assigned a fashion master as a mentor. The roster of mentors includes some of the most prestigious international editors, journalists and designers: knowledgeable personalities whose point of view and references have been of inestimable help and enrichment for the students.

Conceived by Diego Della Valle and coordinated by Fabio Piras, course director of Central Saint Martins MA Fashion Course, the project will be presented in February, during London Fashion Week, through a digital exhibition.

 

“This is a beautiful project that supports students and at the same time brings unusual and innovative points of view to Tod’s.  I would like to thank all the mentors who have helped us, Central Saint Martins and Fabio Piras for their exceptional contribution” says Diego Della Valle.
