We speak with Tod’s CEO Diego Della Valle, share styling tips from model Johannes Huebl, and explore microcamps for the fall release.
All that’s required then is to apply that knowledge, which, admittedly, is harder on some days than on others. But presenting yourself with a soupçon of individuality is often what sets the most elegant folk apart from the madding crowd.
Just keep it subtle: As our teens and 20s recede further and further into life’s rearview, I find “subtle” is increasingly the aim when it comes to one’s appearance. Great style is rarely high volume. To be clear, I’m not talking about adding a novelty tie to a bespoke suit-and-shirt combo because it has your entire car collection depicted on it. The word “character” should be used only when describing your upstanding, ethical, and noble personality, not your wardrobe. Instead, aim for that almost indescribable essence of you that permeates your clothing choices and as such wouldn’t seem right on anyone else. In this fall style issue, we profile one man who certainly fits the bill. Every time I’ve encountered Diego Della Valle, president and CEO of the Italian label Tod’s, he has looked elegant, stylish, and distinctive. He achieves this by virtue of a signature stylistic flourish, that of wearing his shirt collars up, with a long silk scarf wrapped around his neck in place of the more traditional tie.

I’m not denying that to lend this look the required gravitas it helps to be an Italian fashion billionaire with a side hustle in cultural philanthropy. But, whatever, it has become his trademark. in central Italy for this story. He used to have a vast, colorful wardrobe, he said, but decided one day that it was no longer for him. Now he has one fabric for winter jackets and one for summer, always in navy. “One black tie, one black shirt, one black scarf, one blue jacket,” he said. If he has to go somewhere official, he’ll dig out a blue suit. If it’s “a little more sporty, you have gray pants and the blue blazer.” He wears jeans, too, which give him “three of four combinations: It’s possible to do many things.” All of it anchored by the quiet charisma that comes with that collar-and-scarf combo.
