Today, I’m introducing Our Legacy which is a rising fashion brand in Korea now. Our Legacy is a Swedish brand founded in 2005. Three founders, Jockum Hallin, Cristopher Nying and Richardos Klarén launched their own independent fashion brand. Our Legacy uses its own developed fabrics on signature shapes. It only had men’s wear but expanded to both men’s and women’s ready-to-wear basing on each seasonal theme with detailed attention and repurposed materials.
Who Are Our Legacy?
Cristopher Nying and Jockum Hallin used to play hockey when they were 15 years old. Few years later when they were 23 and 24 years old, they united. At that time, Jockum was owning a fashion brand and Cristopher was studying graphic design.
The reason for them starting the fashion brand is very simple, in order to make a perfect t-shirt. They started their business making samples in their home studio in a small town. Offering their samples in boutiques in Florence, Italy to Oslo, Norway.
What I personally think about Our Legacy is that they capture Northern European vibes really well. All elements such as the moods, silhouettes, colors, fabrics, and trims are harmonious. One of my favorite collections is the Fall 2017 collection. I like Our Legacy’s typical details on their garments. It really shows chicness without any efforts. The colors and moods are understated, but the details shown in each garment prove the sophistication of Our Legacy. Here are some outfits from the Fall 2017 collection.
Since Our Legacy was started as a men’s fashion brand, awareness from men about the brand is higher than from women. That’s why I wanted to write my blog about Our Legacy.
Let’s See How I Did a Our Legacy Styling
The sweater is very soft and well stretches. The silhouette is also unique that it’s a semi turtle neck. The sleeves are pretty long.
The jeans are pretty versatile and straight fit. The length of the jeans is perfect for my height of 5’5 feet. The color of the jeans is pretty light so I prefer wearing them during summer.
The shoes are very Our Legacy’s. They are called Cuban Boot. These are Our Legacy’s signature shoes. They are pretty comfortable to wear. I bought them in black so they are very chic and modern.
The t-shirt is very light which is perfect for the humid weather in South Korea during summer. The red color doesn’t make the shirt too simple. It’s not white color, it’s more like off-white color.
The trousers are long and wide. They are a bit long in me. However, if I wear them with the cuban boots, then they fit perfectly fine. They are made out of 100% cotton and has very light texture.
The pink cardigan is very cute. The color is so unique and vivid. It’s collarless cardigan made out of 100% virgin wool. It’s a perfect item for these kinds of days where there is a huge gap between day and night temperature.
The yellow sweater is v-neck with a slightly cropped length but not too short. The color is light yellow that gives a soft feeling and texture. Its fit is relaxed. It will give you a point to your outfit if you are a person who mostly has black garments in your wardrobe.
The Sonar sweater is made out of glittery Italian polyamide fabrics so it’s texture is very rich and heavy. I don’t think it’s for a daily look item, but definitely something that you won’t find easily.
Our Legacy is actually my favorite fashion brand for now. These days, I’m very obsessed with oversized fit garments and wide or straight fit pants and jeans. And, Our Legacy is perfect for my preference. There are two types of people who are into fashion in Korea. One group is a group that likes clothes that have a clear about where an item is from or show a brand logo, and the other group is people who like clothes without showing the brand and wear them for their own satisfaction rather than showing them to others. If you prefer the latter, then Our Legacy is the right brand for you. Our Legacy does not show the brand on the garment putting its logo or own pattern, but Our legacy puts its brand identity to prove its legacy.
