Jockum Hallin, Cristopher Nying and Richardos Klarén

Jockum Hallin, Cristopher Nying and Richardos Klarén are the co-founders of Our Legacy, the Stockholm-based fashion brand known for its fabric-led, progressive sensibility. Together, they have built one of Europe’s most influential niche labels, infusing classic items with unorthodox flourishes and a subversive edge.

Hallin and Nying launched Our Legacy in 2005 as a graphic T-shirt project. Klarén later joined as a third partner, helping shape the business and retail strategy while the brand evolved into a full ready-to-wear menswear label. From the beginning, their shared vision centred on subtle, logo-free wardrobe essentials reimagined with custom-developed fabrics and updated cuts. 

In 2016, the brand launched Our Legacy Work Shop, a platform dedicated to repurposing leftover fabrics and garments through upcycling and recycling processes. Work Shop has become a creative engine within the company, releasing limited drops both online and in-store, while also acting as a collaborative vessel. Notable partnerships include projects with Stüssy, Emporio Armani, Converse and Artek.

In 2018, the brand expanded into womenswear and continued its exploration of gender-fluid design, mirroring broader shifts within the industry.

Our Legacy’s identity has been formed as much by what it avoids — seasonal hype, runway shows, overt branding — as by what it embraces, including hand-finished detailing and the use of deadstock materials repurposed through its Work Shop line, which has become a platform for collaborations with partners such as Stüssy and Emporio Armani. The business has grown steadily, supported by a direct-to-consumer model, selective wholesale and a growing international retail presence. In late 2024, LVMH Luxury Ventures acquired a minority stake in the company, affirming its relevance and setting the stage for its next phase of growth.
