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."
