Since creative director Walter Chiapponi took office in 2019, he has been injecting many new style elements into TOD’S. Recently, the brand has released the Graffiti graffiti series with a playful and humorous street art interpretation of many classic items, bringing surprises to fashion enthusiasts once again!
The works of famous graffiti masters such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat are the source of inspiration for the TOD’S Graffiti series, and the design concepts or aesthetics of a series of fashion items are echoed by a free, flexible and ever-changing creative style of graffiti art.
The TOD’S Graffiti series decorates fashion items such as Gommino loafers, leather sneakers, and T Timeless handbags with images designed by Walter Chiapponi, as well as handwritten texts like “Dream,” “Amor,” and “In Love We Trust,” in stylish black or vibrant peach colors, making a bold yet positive statement, while also paying tribute to graffiti art through the brand’s craftsmanship.
A series of designs are not lacking in fashion details, such as the popular bag T Timeless, which not only has a body full of graffiti, but also has graffiti-style “TOD’S” brand letters and numbers on the shoulder strap. This detachable shoulder strap can also be used as a belt, making the bag a delicate and compact waist bag, bringing more fashionable ways to wear it!
As for the classic Gommino loafers, under the interpretation of Graffiti, they have also become a fashion focus. The word “LIFE” is added to the sole, and numbers are printed on both sides of the leather sneakers’ lace loops, adding more playful details to the design!
The Graffiti series has been launched at TOD’S stores and official website, so if you’re interested, feel free to check it out.
