Italian luxury group Tod’s has announced that it is formally ending its collaboration with creative director Matteo Tamburini. The report describes the change as part of a reorganization of the brand’s creative structure, intended to strengthen the brand image and emphasize its signature design language, Italian craftsmanship, and a distinctive Italian lifestyle aesthetic.
Tamburini became Tod’s creative director in 2023. The same report also says he was appointed at the end of 2023 and is leaving after nearly three years. The collection he presented at Milan Fashion Week in September 2026 was his last season for the brand.
Diego Della Valle, chairman and chief executive of Tod’s Group, said in a statement: “I want to thank Matteo for the creative and professional contribution he made during his tenure, for the commitment and enthusiasm he showed, and for the work he completed with the company team. We sincerely wish Matteo well in the next stage of his career.”
On leaving, Matteo Tamburini said: “My time at Tod’s was an important chapter in my career, and it gave me the chance to bring my creative ideas into the brand. I am proud of what we achieved together, and I thank the Della Valle family for the opportunity. I especially thank the excellent colleagues I was fortunate to work with; their enthusiasm and commitment made the experience meaningful. I now close this journey with deep respect for what we achieved together and for everyone who took part.”
Before joining the brand, which is headquartered in Italy’s Marche region, Tamburini had worked in luxury fashion. He spent about seven collections at Bottega Veneta’s Milan design studio, covering tailored ready-to-wear, outerwear, and leather goods. Earlier in his career, he also worked with Schiaparelli, Rochas, and Emilio Pucci.
