OLDER Studio AS SEEN BY Tobia Faverio, 2025
Last August, Letizia Caramia and Morten Thuesen, co-founders of OLDER Studio, were in Umbria to visit photographer and brand collaborator Tobia Faverio, who grew up in the Italian region. The sight of that rural landscape and its inhabitants, so naturally in symbiosis with it, immediately laid the foundation for the second episode of OLDER Studio AS SEEN BY.
«What struck me the most was that each of these people reached the lunch spot on a different, specifically rural means of transport: mountain bike, quad, jeep... As a foreigner, I was very fascinated», explains Thuesen.
«The idea came about spontaneously: we immediately asked Tobia if it would have been possible to shoot each of them aboard their own vehicle, using the same method we had developed with Shota Kono in Tokyo a few months earlier. Once we returned to Milan, we selected and shipped the garments, Letizia took care of the styling remotely, and Tobia and the landscape did the rest».
«We also liked the idea of putting a spotlight on a region that is still little-known, even to Italians themselves, yet whose landscape immediately captivated us», comments Caramia.
«It’s much more interesting not to be present: we just choose the photographer, and we leave the complete creative process of the story to him. The extraordinary success of the first episode proved our intuition right, and this second one has confirmed it. The project isn’t just about communicating OLDER’s uniform collections. It’s a form of devotion and support for a community of photographers we admire and whose work is very similar to our aesthetic and worldview».
