Our Legacy FW25 at Milan Men’s Fashion Week

Our Legacy FW25 / Fall Winter 2025 – 2026 at Milan Men’s Fashion Week entitled ’AULA’

Our Legacy introduces its Fall Winter 2025 – 2026 / FW25 collection ’AULA’, a reflection on distinctive shifts of identities. The collection examines how looks and surroundings serve as a mediums for adaptation, enabling transitions between casual and formal contexts.

Our Legacy FW25 / Fall Winter 2025 – 2026 presentation explores the idea of how environment and profession can change ones perception of a person. Each individual is styled in two contrasting looks, making them almost unrecognizable. This further emphasizes the tension between the safe anonymity of the everyday life and the sharpness of being ”on duty”. Wigs, hairstyles, and alternative makeup looks further amplify the distinction, allowing individuals to step into alternate personas, almost like a role-play.

Details of Our Legacy FW25, This theme of transformation extends to the garments themselves. Athletic staples, such as the track suit, are transformed into structured, uniform-like garments using high-twist twill—seen in pieces like the Casino Jacket and the Ponte Shorts. Meanwhile traditional tuxedo shapes, such as the Supper Coat, are crafted in a textured ash grey melton, stripping away from its initial formality.

This narrative of transformation finds a parallel in the evolution of traditional tobacco stores. Once a spot for luxury cigars, these spaces have adapted to modern needs, now serving as parcel hubs. Our Legacy FW25 collection’s palette is inspired by the atmosphere of the tobacco store itself—rich deep browns and ash greys from tobacco, with muted greens and earthy tones, reflecting the scent of smoke, leather, and aged wood. Yellow tints can be found throughout the collection, mimicing the effect of smoked-in fabrics and interiors.

”The way our surroundings influence the personas we adopt has always intrigued me. I picture a tobacconist, ordinary and practical during workday, stepping into an entirely different character at night, vibrant and expressive. Similarly, I once ran into an old hockey teammate in the park while he was playing with his kids. At first, I didn’t even recognize him. It’s funny how environment and context can blur the lines of recognition, making someone so familiar feel like a stranger until it all clicks.” – Cristopher Nying, Creative Director

’AULA’ serves as a vehicle, enabling one to step into the skin of alternate identities, navigating the fluid boundaries between who we are, who we appear and aspire to be.
