TOD'S has announced that Alessandra Facchinetti will be stepping down as Creative Director of Women's Collections after three years at the brand. Diego Della Valle, Chairman and CEO of the Tod's Group, commented, "I would like to thank Alessandra for her contributions to Tod's. We have sought to foster a clear fashion perspective coupled with Italian style, and we believe that by presenting one of Milan's must-see shows, we have achieved these goals. This decision was reached after much consideration and a caring dialogue. I wish Alessandra all the best for her future endeavors." Alessandra Facchinetti said: "I now want to focus on other projects that have previously taken a back seat to ensuring that Tod's strategy is achieved. I am very proud to have worked for this exceptional family company, which has quality, craftsmanship and excellence at the heart of its business, and I am grateful to Tod's, and in particular to Diego and Andrea della Valle, who have been so supportive and I am sure our friendly relationship will continue in the future."
