It started with a neighborhood (Saint-Germain), a moment in time (the ‘80s) and the uniforms of the locals: a grad student outside Sciences Po in a hand-me-down cardigan, a businessman browsing used books on the Rue Mazarine or a French pop star from the yé-yé era. Todd updated those archetypes with opulent fabrics, jewel tones and modern proportions. See you at Cafe de Flore in the Left Bank.
Made from Italian herringbone wool with a vintage look and feel, this military-inspired jacket has a cropped silhouette that works perfectly with trousers that have a higher rise.
This cardigan — which has a relaxed fit that tapers slightly at the waist — is knit from soft blend of Italian mohair that’s then been double-brushed for an extra fuzzy effect.
This modern take on the trench is crafted from a double-layered coated cotton, made in Italy at a mill known for specializing in technical fabrics.
Todd worked with Lyria Mill on many of this Collection’s fabrics. Lyria is based in Prato, Tuscany, at the heart of Italy’s textile industry. Founded by Riccardo Bruni, it embodies a mixture of old and new, producing timeless fabrics unlike any in the region.
“One of the most interesting things about Ricardo is neither of us really speak each other’s languages, but our design and process is so similar. We communicate so well through those mediums.” — Todd Snyder
