Our Legacy Menswear Autumn 2026

With his poet’s soul, Our Legacy’s Cristopher Nying has a knack for finding strength in fragility, as well as vulnerability in displays of masculinity. It’s a different way of looking at the world than the might-equals-right posturing so prevalent in America right now. OL, which recently received investment from LVMH, moved their presentation back to Paris where they used to show. With its focus on function and melancholy—concepts entwined in the Swedish psyche—this is one of the brand’s most Nordic collections. In their pursuit of “garments reduced to their most honest, prototypical form,” as the notes put it, the team studied authentic workwear, such as Swedish machinist jackets (traditionally engineered to take frigid temperatures into account). “Normally, I’ve been tweaking workwear in our way; we replace the style with a slightly different or more fashionable fabric, but this time I actually went into the original garments,” Nying explained on a call. The result is clothes that are anything but standard issue.
