Alessandra Facchinetti
Tod’s Creative Director
Alessandra Facchinetti is the new creative director of
Tod’s women’s collections. The former Gucci, Valentino
and Uniqueness designer will start her role next month.
“Alessandra Facchinetti is a very talented woman,” said Tod’s Group
president Diego Della Valle. “Her passion for detail and her dedication
to the research of materials and manufacturing make her perfect for
our brand, which has always been very attentive to quality and Made
in Italy.” Facchinetti announced that she was leaving Uniqueness
yesterday, the brand that she founded in collaboration with Italian
label Pinko in 2011. She will unveil her first collection for Tod’s during
Milan Fashion Week in September. Alessandra Facchinetti added: “As
an Italian designer, I feel very honored to take up such an important
role for a brand that – with the highest quality and refinement – helps
to keep up the prestige of Made in Italy in the world.”
