Tod’s is stepping forward with its second capsule collection alongside Chinese sensation Xiao Zhan, who now holds the title of the brand’s global ambassador. This collaboration signals a deepening relationship since their initial partnership in 2022, reflecting a fusion of Xiao Zhan’s contemporary flair with Tod’s storied Italian craftsmanship.
The collection, co-designed by Xiao Zhan and Matteo Tamburini—who recently assumed the role of creative director—introduces the exclusive Tod’s·X logo. This emblem, representing the convergence of different paths, weaves its way through the assortment, adding a symbolic touch to the pieces.
Central to the lineup is the Di Bag Swing, available in rich brown and understated natural gray. Handcrafted by Tod’s artisans, it features classic saddle-stitch detailing and a distinctive reverse handle design, marrying tradition with modern utility. Accompanying the bag is the micro-sized Tod’s X phone bag, catering to the on-the-go lifestyle.
Footwear makes a strong statement with the T Vintage sneakers offered in brown and white or gray and white combinations. These sneakers encapsulate a timeless aesthetic while ensuring comfort and quality. The capsule is rounded out with a scarf in earthy tones and a double-layer collar shirt, both echoing the collection’s harmonious blend of elegance and ease.
Set to launch this Thursday, the collection will be accessible worldwide through Tod’s official website and select boutiques. A dedicated campaign will roll out predominantly across digital platforms and strategic out-of-home locations, aiming to capture the attention of a global audience.
This renewed partnership with Xiao Zhan doesn’t just highlight a celebrity collaboration; it underscores Tod’s commitment to bridging cultures through fashion. As the industry increasingly values global influences, this collection stands as a testament to the enriching possibilities of international synergy.
