tod's happy moments by alber elbaz

Tod's Happy Moments was a special capsule collection for men and women launched in 2019 as part of the Tod's Factory project, a creative laboratory for collaborations. The collection was designed by the celebrated late designer Alber Elbaz, formerly of Lanvin, who infused his playful and modern design sensibility into the storied Italian house. Elbaz's starting point was the brand's iconic Gommino driving shoe, which he transformed with bright colors, sneaker soles, neoprene details, and metallic finishes. The collection, which also included handbags and t-shirts, was conceived to celebrate the joyful moments in life, offering a fresh, energetic, and often humorous take on Tod's classic luxury. Unveiled in Paris, the collaboration was a testament to the brand's commitment to blending its heritage of craftsmanship with contemporary design innovation.
