Our Legacy Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear: Gone Fishing
Looking beyond seashells by the seashore, Our Legacy took inspiration from more offbeat elements for spring, including outboard motors wrapped in modest, mismatched fabrics; dried sea grass; fishnets; boring holiday postcards, and how clothes get distressed and tangled up when wet.
It yielded a slightly more conceptual collection than usual, with shirts designed to be worn splayed over the shoulders, evoking a middy collar; short gray puffer jackets without any feathers inside; silver jewelry strung with folded bottle caps and fishing lures, and even a crumpled dress shoe, like the ones unlucky cartoon characters find on the end of their fishing line in lieu of dinner.

Still, it was bang on trend with the washed-out pastels seen elsewhere in Milan, though here the colors fell in the range of kelp, sand and mud, along with pale blues, greens and plums.
During a quick tour of its Milan showroom, creative director Cristopher Nying cherry-picked garments with intriguing fabric treatments, including a lightweight parka whose nylon fabric mimicked waxed cotton; gossamer sweaters with a fishnet feeling; an anorak that appeared to be rusting here and there, and robe-like coats and loose trousers in a coarse canvas resembling a potato sack, only softer to the hand.
The brand continues its gradual global expansion, having expanded beyond its London and Berlin boutiques to open three stores in Korea. Next up: it’s casting around for a location in Paris, and also mulling testing the waters in the U.S.
