No_Code

A multitude of loafers go flying and blue suede desert boots walk the confines of a wooden crate in this playful short from filmmaker Marcus Gaab. Showcasing No_Code, the new capsule collection from iconic Italian luxury house Tod's, the film features all four paired-down styles in a range of seasonal colors. Inspired by Dazed & Confused magazine's visionary co-founder Jefferson Hack, No_Code's versatile but timeless designs are intended for both men and women. “The collection is really in sync, but each shoe is also wholly unique so I wanted to create something that played up each shoe’s specific characteristics,” says Gaab of his decision to display the collection in an array of animated scenes. Designed with the cosmopolitan nomad in mind, the collection is lightweight and crafted in Tod’s signature quality leathers and suede to transition easily from casual daytime use to more formal nocturnal scenarios. “There’s an easiness about the styles, they are minimal and can work in different contexts,” adds Gaab. “They can be sleek and simple, but also a bit more pop and fun, so it’s all about seeing them from different perspectives.”
