Cooking is a new-ish passion for Our Legacy’s Christopher Nying, who grew up in a home where food was an expression of love. He spread thethis season by taking over a restaurant in Milan and preparing a meal for a gathering of friends and colleagues. His fall collection, called Feast, was similarly hospitable. You can always count on OL for a perfect jacket, leather toppers, unusual knits, and great separates for layering, and they were all there, rendered in the colors of various earthy fungi.
This collection, said the designer on a call, was the second part of a story that started in 2019 with the brand’s, which was presented at Stockholm’s upscale Café Opera and had a theme of “youth depravation in a bourgeois setting.” Feast was imagined as a more “proletariat” rehearsal dinner in an industrial space with plastic chairs.
“Imagine what happens if you remove the tie or remove the glasses or the gloves— which in my head are quite formal—you become someone else,” said the designer, who noted that he was also focused on “homely things.” And so a simple plastic bread clip was rendered as a silver pendant; the same metal was used for delicate lacy accessories inspired by Swedish pantry shelf trims.
As Our Legacy shows in Milan, in a predominantly Catholic country: this editor was tempted to think of The Last Supper, but that wasn’t one of Nying’s references. Feasts are, however, secular rituals, and in such divisive times, OL’s impulse to deconstruct the formality of the feast and focus on coming together seemed both humanistic and spot-on. Food, after all, is a form of diplomacy. As it’s written in the New Testament, “It’s hard to remain enemies when you’ve broken bread together.
