Devoid of grandeur or a specific concept, the latest Fall/Winter 2024 collection from Our Legacy is described as chaotic yet captivating. “Feast” reimagines a gathering of the proletariat, adorned with warm and intimate memories from life’s smallest details, notably reflected in the act of dressing for a dinner outing.
Within the glamorous and extravagant backdrop of Milan Fashion Week, Creative Director Cristopher Nying takes an inspired step from joyful moments with friends and family. OUR LEGACY’s RTW Fall/Winter 2024 collection, named ‘Feast,’ depicts a gathering of the common people.
Let Our Legacy RTW 2024 ease your struggles in choosing dinner attire
Contrary to the dazzling settings of typical dinner parties seen at Fashion Week, Feast builds its narrative by focusing on intricate details. The presentation recreates a multi-generational meeting, drawing inspiration from various aspects of preparing and enjoying a feast. The designs in the collection combine formal and casual wear to emphasize contrast. For example, formal menswear is paired with a skirt-like layer resembling an apron, a necktie accompanying streetwear jeans, ballet shoes with ripped denim, and more.
Furthermore, the Feast collection showcases Our Legacy’s innovative color processing techniques, simulating stains and wear from cooking. As comfort is paramount in family dinner attire, the designs are tailored to allow adjustments for prolonged sitting, such as dresses with adjustable waist straps. The predominant color palette consists of subdued tones like black, brown, gray, beige, occasionally brought to life by colorful accents like pink.
A fresh and captivating aspect of Our Legacy’s show this time is the inclusion of models of various ages, gathered on plastic chairs behind, reflecting the communication and camaraderie of guests at an intimate feast.
Cristopher Nying, Creative Director of Our Legacy, describes this collection as a reinterpretation and evolution of the characters from the brand’s 2019 show ‘Chambre Separée.’ These characters return after a hiatus, now depicted as mature and sophisticated, borrowing garments and accessories to elevate elegance and intellect. Under Christopher Nying’s talent, Our Legacy has transformed the ‘Feast’ theme into a fashion celebration, blending the refinement of high-end tailoring with the smart aesthetics of everyday wear.
The seamless collection harmonizes between adorned and unadorned elements, juxtaposing tailored coats with knitwear, jeans, and ballet shoes. The design style creates a harmonious focal point through accessories like leather gloves and neckties, complementing comfortable and cozy sweatpants and sweaters.
