What happens when you blend vintage glamour, sculptural silhouettes, and a muse who looks like she time-traveled from a 1970s editorial? You get Taller Marmo Odyssey—the brand’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection that reimagines the golden age of fashion photography with a modern, jet-set twist.
Inspired by the legendary Henry Clarke and his globe-trotting, high-gloss portraits of bold femininity, Riccardo Audisio and Yago Goicoechea set out to create more than just a lookbook—they crafted a cinematic escape. Shot by Francesco Scotti and fronted by Lindsey Wixson, the campaign unfolds like a dreamy travel film, where ancient ruins, glittering gowns, and soft-focus drama play leading roles.
But this collection isn’t just a love letter to the past. It’s a landmark moment: Taller Marmo’s first collaboration with Swarovski, its 10th anniversary finale, and a bold step forward for a brand that refuses to be boxed into one era, one mood, or one destination.
We caught up with Riccardo and Yago to talk Clarke, crystals, and the timeless thrill of dressing a woman who’s always en route to somewhere fabulous.
IF HENRY CLARKE COULD SHOOT A TALLER MARMO MUSE TODAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE’D BE WEARING FROM THIS COLLECTION?
Everything! If we should be more specific I would say one of our crystal-embellished gowns—perhaps the platinum fil coupé dress held together at the neckline with sculptural crystal hardware. It’s romantic, glamorous, and moves with a cinematic fluidity that Clarke would have loved to capture.
THE CAMPAIGN FEELS LIKE A CINEMATIC ESCAPE—WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MINDS WHEN YOU CHOSE LINDSEY WIXSON AND FRANCESCO SCOTTI TO BRING IT TO LIFE?
When we started developing ideas for the campaign, we knew we needed a girl who looked like she had stepped straight out of the ’60s and ’70s. The collection is directly inspired by the iconic photographs taken by Henry Clarke during that era, as he traveled around the world. Lindsey was immediately our first choice—no one else could have embodied that spirit better. Francesco, on the other hand, brings an emotional richness to his lens that perfectly captured the dreamlike quality we were after. Together, they gave life to this imagined odyssey.
LET’S TALK ARCHITECTURE—CLARKE LOVED STRONG BACKDROPS. HOW DID THE LOCATIONS INFLUENCE THE SPIRIT OF THE PIECES?
The temples and ruins offered a kind of majestic stillness that amplified the movement and softness of the garments. It created this visual tension—ancient stone against ethereal fabric—that made every silhouette feel almost like a memory. The locations didn’t just frame the clothes—they helped narrate them.
YOU DESCRIBE THE COLLECTION AS AN “ODYSSEY.” WHAT’S THE ULTIMATE DESTINATION THIS GLAMOROUS TRAVELER IS HEADING TO?
She’s not heading to one place—it’s about the spirit of movement. Whether it’s a private island, a desert palace, or a rooftop in Istanbul, the destination is always somewhere she feels fully herself. This woman is in constant evolution, and fashion travels with her.
THERE’S A BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE SENSIBILITY THROUGHOUT—WERE THERE ANY SPECIFIC CLARKE EDITORIALS OR MOMENTS FROM THE ’60S/’70S THAT YOU DIRECTLY REFERENCED?
Absolutely—his editorial shoots in Marrakesh and India were key references. We were drawn to the drama of the styling, the luxurious fabrics against raw, cultural landscapes, and how his women always looked like they belonged everywhere and nowhere at once. That sense of adventure and universal elegance is what we wanted to capture.
10 YEARS OF TALLER MARMO! WHY DID THIS FEEL LIKE THE RIGHT CHAPTER TO CLOSE THE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS—AND WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL TO YOU BOTH?
This collection is deeply personal. It’s not just a celebration of our past—it’s a bridge to our future. Clarke’s work reminded us why we started Taller Marmo in the first place: to create pieces that feel like part of a story, not just a season. Closing the anniversary with this trilogy felt both intimate and expansive.
THIS IS YOUR FIRST COLLABORATION WITH SWAROVSKI. WHAT DREW YOU TO THIS PARTNERSHIP, AND HOW DID THE CRYSTALS ELEVATE THE STORYTELLING?
We’ve always seen crystals as more than embellishments—they’re architecture for the body. Swarovski’s craftsmanship allowed us to treat them like functional jewels that sculpt the garments, tracing lines across the skin in a way that feels both sensual and strong. It brought a new dimension to our idea of wearable light.
IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE THE MOOD OF THIS COLLECTION IN A PLAYLIST, WHICH THREE SONGS WOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE ON IT?
- “Zou Bisou Bisou” – Gillian Hills
- “Ancora tu” – cover of Lucio Battisti by Róisín Murphy
- “Paradise” by Sade
FINALLY—IF TALLER MARMO’S NEXT DECADE HAD A MANTRA, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Still the same: “Laid-back and Fabulous”!
