Our Legacy Menswear Spring 2023

“Luft” is the Swedish translation of the word “air,” and creative director Christopher Nying riffed on the theme for the Our Legacy spring collection, presented during Milan Fashion Week for the first time through a showroom presentation Our Legacy is about intelligent construction of garments with a minimalist look. Their pragmatic, technical nature is mitigated by the sophistication of Nordic essentiality, elevated to coolness through an illusionistic take on hybridized shapes and volumes. If the idea sounds conceptually overcomplicated, the results IRL were surprisingly attractive and eminently wearable. After all, Swedes are often elegantly straightforward in their approach to style and lifestyle. However, creative u-turns are to be expected.
