Tod’s is turning Milan Design Week 2026 into a live dialogue between fashion and design with ICONS by ICONS, a special project dedicated to its signature Gommino loafer and the masters of 20th century Italian design. From April 22nd to 26th 2026, visitors can register to discover the limited edition collection and installation at Via Savona 56, 20144 Milan, in the heart of the city’s design district.
