Our Legacy Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
How to mark a milestone? At Our Legacy Cristopher Nying and team decided to take an introspective rather than retrospective approach to the season. The spring 2026 collection—called B-Sides—marks the Swedish brand's second decade. And it truly feels 20 years young, having retained a scruffy 'just kids' attitude while simultaneously becoming more refined. To build on the music metaphor introduced by the collection's title, OL bridges the analog/digital divide, retaining elements of the cassette tape and the audio file. It's refreshing, and completely in character, that Nying would shy away from a big anniversary blow-out in favor of pouring his energy and love into his passion: developing textiles and making clothes. The tactility of the pieces even seeps into the way they're described: Materials are washed, waxed, dipped, speckled, coarse, soft, worn, oily, glazed, and deep. Just as various are the collection's shades of black, including void, soot, whisker, deep abyss, jet, and more. There is also a wide range of khakis, as well as touches of bordeaux and purple. On a call, the designer described this season an 'internal process,' very much focused on in-jokes (see the Angry Fan Mail print made from actual correspondence received over the years). The starting point, as ever, is tailoring—sharp and technical or soft and deconstructed—along with biker and military influences. A couple of the looks reference the first vintage garment Nying bought: 'a pair of Swedish military overalls that we cut off and said 'This should be the Our Legacy jacket,' but we never really did it until now, which is very funny.' The men's and women's looks are more in harmony than they've ever been here. A man's uniform jacket is made feminine by shaping, while a small back slit, more commonly used in women's garb, is added to the men's version. Lace appears throughout the collection, including on military-inspired looks, and a large-scale camouflage intarsia reads more punk than hawkish. Also included are new, not nostalgic, takes on some OL hits, such as the tuxedo bomber or the 'angel of death' print introduced in the first collection in 2005. Enjoying their debuts are some materials that didn't make the edit the first time around, like an iridescent knit. 'It's something,' Nying said, 'that we've always talked about internally, how something is shifting.'

Italian elegance meets Nordic innovation in new Emporio Armani x Our Legacy drop
Following their first partnership in 2023, Italian fashion house Emporio Armani and Swedish label Our Legacy Work Shop launched their second collaboration collection for Spring/Summer. For the first time, the co-created line also includes womenswear pieces. In this new capsule, signature elements from the Emporio Armani archive are reinterpreted by Our Legacy Work Shop. Many garments are crafted using quintessential Armani fabrics and finishes—materials that have withstood the test of time and are now reimagined in a new context. Additional items feature vintage Armani fabrics that were recreated and developed exclusively by Our Legacy for this project. "Designing within the constraints of what already exists is a challenge—but also an opportunity," said Cristopher Nying, creative director of Our Legacy, in a statement. "These fabrics carry stories. Seeing them return in a new form made the process unexpectedly rewarding." Emporio Armani, known as Giorgio Armani 's dynamic and urban line, is defined by its continuous evolution and reinterpretation of the Armani aesthetic. Our Legacy Work Shop, the creative lab of Stockholm-based Our Legacy, focuses on experimental uses of fabrics and garments. Founded in 2005 by Jockum Hallin, Cristopher Nying, and Richardos Klarén, the ready-to-wear brand—catering to both men and women—is recognized for applying custom fabrics to iconic silhouettes. It balances familiarity with eccentricity, offering reworked yet recognizable shapes through recurring subcategories. Throughout the new collection, subtle references to East Asian traditional attire emerge, including the collarless 'Sciovolo' shirt, printed pocket linings in the 'Ampolla' blazer, and the 'Toga Coat,' which takes cues from kimono construction—a central stylistic touchpoint for the collaboration. Additional nods to summer escapism appear in details like hotel robe–inspired designs and slipper-like footwear. Silhouettes from the debut collaboration return in updated versions, while the cat motif reappears across prints and on a deck of Emporio Armani Our Legacy Work Shop playing cards. "I like things that age well—pieces that stand the test of time in both durability and wearability," said Giorgio Armani, reflecting on the project. Alasdair McLellan shot the campaign in Pantelleria, the volcanic Mediterranean island that serves as Armani's personal retreat. The Emporio Armani Our Legacy Work Shop collection will be available starting Friday, May 16, through a special setup at the Emporio Armani store on Via Manzoni in Milan, and at Dover Street Market locations in London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Ginza. It will also be stocked at Our Legacy stores in Stockholm, London, Berlin, and Seoul; at the Stockholm Work Shop; and via wholesale partners including Ssense, Net-a-Porter, Mr Porter, I.T Hysan One, SKP S, and Maison Dongliang, as well as other Dover Street Market addresses in Singapore, Beijing, and online.
