Our Legacy Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear

As seen in this lookbook, Our Legacy’s Christopher Nying and Jockum Hallin worked around a semi-abstract social and visual construct: young people reveling in conservative (and presumptuously pricier than what a young person might normally be able to afford) restaurants, and the inevitable morning-after mess leftover from the party. The collection was dubbed “Chambre Séparée,” and the notes accompanying it mentioned “youth depravation in a bourgeois setting.” “We wanted the look to be a dressed-down version of what the regular clientele in such a place might wear,” said Nying. He and Hallin’s merrymakers thus took over Stockholm’s Café Opera, sporting a magpie jumble of separates, from ratty cut-off T-shirts to super-long coatdresses to loosely woven cable-knits to, cleverly, blown-glass necklaces held in place by Champagne cork wiring. Scarves were almost as delicate as something antique, as if they’d been pulled right off of that traditional table setting; another necklace boasted a charm that reinterpreted a leather-bound menu.
