Tod’s, Matteo Tamburini Part Ways

MILAN — After three years, Tod’s and Matteo Tamburini are parting ways. On Tuesday evening, the Italian luxury brand said the designer will step down as creative director “in line with the company’s decision to strengthen its focus on more decisively communicating the brand’s values, the distinctive character of its codes and the artisanal quality of its products, as well as the Italian lifestyle.” Tamburini’s last collection was unveiled for spring in September during Milan Fashion Week.

“I would like to thank Matteo for his creative and professional contribution throughout his tenure, for his commitment and for the work carried out in close collaboration with the company’s teams,” said Diego Della Valle, chairman and chief executive officer. “I wish Matteo every success in his future professional endeavors.” “My experience at Tod’s has been an important chapter in my professional journey and an opportunity to bring my creative vision to the brand.

I am proud of what we have achieved together and grateful to the Della Valle family for the opportunity they have given me,” Tamburini stated. “Above all, I would like to thank the talented people I have had the pleasure of working with, whose passion and dedication have made this experience so meaningful.

I conclude this chapter with deep respect for the work we have accomplished and for the people who made it possible.”
