Walter Chiapponi creates clothes with culture- pieces that are timeless and sustainable, as well as beautifully designed. As the new Creative Director of Tod’s, Chiapponi is defining a new age for the Italian luxury fashion brand by tapping into storied Italian sensibility and timelessness.

Diego della Valle’s historic luxury goods brand was once a small Italian family-owned shoemaking workshop that vaulted into global recognition when Gianni Agnelli was snapped casually strolling in a pair of gommini, Tod’s pebble-soled driving mocassins. For the past five decades, gommino have been a key carry-on item for every Italian weekend, and now with Chiapponi at the helm of design, Tod’s is upgrading the entire wardrobe.

I care about the value, about the craftsmanship, about the chicness, more than then the trend. It’s that one matter of sustainability in a different way.

Walter Chiapponi

Craftsmanship, sophistication and sensibility are the tenets to Italian lifestyle, design and fashion. Sustainability may be a buzzword these years, but Italian craftsmanship is intrinsically sustainable, and Chiapponi’s own desire for a sustainable planet for future generations drives his constant search for into alternative materials and up-cycling. Learn about Chiapponi push for a greener, more creative future with exquisitely simple and enduringly chic fashion.
