Our Legacy Menswear Autumn 2023

It might be premature to call out proportion play as a theme of the fall 2023 season, but that was certainly the case at Our Legacy, where Christopher Nying was focused on the actual fit of some pretty rad ’fits. A father to two young daughters, Nying looked at their clothes as well as the childrenswear he’s amassed over the years. (One of the inspiration items for the collection, a pink-and-white striped onesie, appears as a showpiece that Nying described as “an internal smile.”) He also considered how his younger self dressed and his overall aesthetic: “I’m kind of grungy,” the designer admitted. But if his new collection is personal, it is also a technical one that involves ingenious problem-solving.
