Tod’s Creative Director Matteo Tamburini Steps Down
Tod's Group announced on Tuesday that creative director Matteo Tamburini has stepped down without naming a successor.
Departure and Official Statement
Group chairman Diego Della Valle thanked Tamburini for his professional contribution during his tenure. The designer joined the brand in December 2023 after leading ready-to-wear at Bottega Veneta. His final collection for Tod's was the Spring/Summer 2027 show presented in Milan last September. A successor has not yet been named to fill this vacancy at the luxury house.
Financial Context and Strategy
The company recently delisted in May 2024 through a deal with L Catterton. Revenues climbed 11.9 per cent on a year-on-year basis, reaching €1.13 billion in 2023 according to public earnings. Since going private, macroeconomic conditions have become more challenging and demand from China has softened. The group aims to communicate brand values and artisanal quality through a new strategic direction.
Designer Career and Gratitude
Tamburini previously worked at Emilio Pucci and Schiaparelli before arriving at Tod's from Bottega Veneta. In February, he presented the inaugural collection for the brand representing Fall/Winter 2024. That show was recognized for its attention to house codes and distinctive character. Tamburini expressed pride in achievements and gratitude toward the Della Valle family and staff.
