Tod’s enters the festive season with The Holiday Express, a short film that introduces the brand’s 2025.26 Holiday Collection through a focused and visually rich narrative. The film presents a series of episodes set aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express, using the train’s atmosphere to frame a story shaped around winter travel, style, and the character of Italian living.
The film opens with a scene that establishes the rhythm of the narrative. Characters board the legendary train during the build-up to the holiday season, preparing for a journey that moves through a sequence of carefully arranged encounters. The tone uses refined irony to create a warm and inviting dynamic. Tod’s positions this setting as a tribute to Italy, its culture, and its way of life.
Tod’s builds the story across short, concentrated episodes. Each one reveals a new detail from the collection and a new impression of the train. The narrative presents winter travel as an experience shaped by character and clothing, with the garments functioning as part of the environment rather than separate elements.
The 2025.26 Holiday Collection takes form through full looks that feature updated interpretations of Tod’s signature pieces. The Winter Gommino ankle boot appears with a winter-ready finish that reinforces its presence as a staple for the season. The classic Gommino loafer joins the narrative with renewed emphasis on shape and comfort. Tod’s also places focus on the Di Bag Folio and the T Timeless bags, presenting each piece with materials suited for colder months. Shearling, nappa, and suede alternate throughout the line, creating a measured contrast between soft surfaces and firm structures. Earth tones meet snowy whites, shaping a palette that aligns with winter scenes without overwhelming them.
The film presents clothing and accessories through slow, deliberate shots that draw attention to textures and finishes. Tod’s reinforces the idea that luxury comes from contact, material quality, and the natural feel of each object. The Holiday Express uses the movement of the train to support this idea. As characters walk through corridors, sit by the window, or prepare for arrival, the camera captures how the garments respond to light and motion.
The Holiday Express presents Tod’s 2025.26 Holiday Collection as a cohesive proposal for the winter season. The film ties together clothing, accessories, and environment, creating a story centered on travel, texture, and the character of Italian style. The collection is available in Tod’s boutiques and online.
