The fashion world is abuzz with the latest collaboration that seamlessly blends Indian artistry with Italian luxury: Rahul Mishra x Tod's. Mishra's journey with the brand began in 2017, following a transformative trip to Italy after they first reached out to him as a part of their creative laboratory project, Tod's Factory.

So, after a pandemic delay and a complex design process, the seeds that were planted years ago have finally come to fruition in the form of a stunning fusion collection.
