On the penultimate night of New York Trend Week, luminaries of all varieties flocked uptown to rejoice the opening of the Tod’s boutique. The revelry started with a cocktail reception within the glamorous retailer, newly imagined into an open-concept format. There, Diego Della Valle, president and CEO of the Tod’s Group, and  Andrea Della Valle, vice President, welcomed fashions, film stars, philanthropists, artists, and entrepreneurs. Uma Thurman, clad in a child blue trench coat, acted as visitor of honor.

As hors d’oeuvres circulated, attendees—Elizabeth Hurley, Adrien Brody, and Allison Williams amongst them—admired the good-looking coats, iconic loafers, and chic purses on show. Donning a leather-based apron and thick protecting glasses, an artisan from the Italian atelier demonstrated his time-honored method. The situation affords customization companies for the favored Di Bag and the  Gommino.

As soon as a modest shoe manufacturing unit in Casette D’Ete, Tod’s has grown into an icon of Italian luxurious. Via the wild reputation of the corporate’s progressive rubble-soled moccasins, Tod’s turned a powerhouse by the late Seventies. Earlier this yr, Tod’s, which initially listed on the Milan Inventory Alternate in 2000, turned a personal firm once more, with the  Della Valle household in management. The Manhattan flagship serves as an thrilling mark of this new chapter.

At eight o’clock, company moved to the long-lasting Mark Resort. There, an intimate dinner awaited. Regardless of the February slush outdoors, bouquets of orange ranunculus adorned the tables. Acquainted trend fixtures Derek Blasberg, Georgina Chapman, and Rachel Zoe combined with rising stars like Kathryn Newton and Melissa Roxburgh. A scrumptious Burrata served with contemporary cherry tomatoes offered a style of Italy, a theme that ran all through the night’s menu.
