Tod’s connects the Atlantic coast of Hyannis Port and the shores of Capri with the launch of the Marlin collection. Inspired by the legendary 52-foot cruiser once owned by John F. Kennedy, the lineup is a masterful study in summer luxury.

Fronting the campaign, model Hedi Ben Tekaya embodies a refined New England spirit. Captured against the mahogany and brass of the historic vessel, Hedi showcases a wardrobe rooted in authentic pleasures, where the relaxed attitude of the Kennedy era meets the artisanal heritage of the Italian house.

The collection’s palette is a direct homage to the boat itself, utilizing a sophisticated pairing of forest green and cream. Hedi wears the season’s standout Marlin bomber, a technical cotton jacket finished with Nappa leather trim and a signature sailor’s knot zipper pull.

Complementing the ready-to-wear is the return of the Marlin loafer, an archival Tod’s icon updated with contemporary volumes and the discreet Gommino rubber pebbles on the heel.

From the striped Greca belt to the linen shirts, the Marlin collection offers a timeless aesthetic that feels at home on the deck of a yacht or the cobblestones of the city.

The Marlin collection’s seafaring frame sits next to Tod’s earlier stop at Forte dei Marmi for summer, where the same coastal logic plays out on shore.
