Since 2013: A Vision in Uniform Design

 

Founded in 2013 in Milan, Italy, Older emerged from the vision of Letizia Caramia and Morten Thuesen, two seasoned industry professionals who previously collaborated at Alexander McQueen in London. With years of experience in the fashion world, they set out to redefine the traditional perception of uniforms, blending high fashion with architectural aesthetics.

 

Their ambition was clear: create uniforms that go beyond mere function and become a seamless extension of the spaces they inhabit. Drawing inspiration from their work in the fashion industry and their passion for architectural design, Letizia and Morten sought to merge form and function in a way that would result in garments that were both visually engaging and practical.

 

The duo’s creative journey began in Milan, where they established their design studio, sourcing sustainable materials from local artisans in Italy. Their early success came from collaborations with businesses and institutions eager to innovate their approach to uniforms, sparking a revolution in both aesthetics and sustainability.
