In Pictures: 7 For All Mankind makes NYFW debut with Nicola Brognano

Denim specialist 7 For All Mankind took to the New York Fashion Week runway for the first time this season_ offering up a refreshed direction under the guidance of its new creative director_ Nicola Brognano.

Brognano_s appointment was announced towards the end of last year. The Italian designer_ who previously helmed Blumarine_ was tasked with establishing a “richer_ more cohesive brand universe”_ bringing the brand beyond its denim origins and strengthening its cultural relevance.

Denim still remained a defining factor_ however. Floor-sweeping skirts and skinny low-waist jeans referenced the brand_s early 2000s identity_ as did mini skirts with long trains and slouchy boyfriend silhouettes.

Elsewhere_ studded jeans and jackets only emphasised references to this time period_ with 7 For All Mankind_s signature logo adorned over the back pockets.

Speaking to press_ Brognano said he wanted to mirror the aesthetic of early 2000s _It_ girls_ like Sienna Miller and the Olsen twins_ a feat seemingly achieved in the presence of slinky babydoll and tube dresses_ dramatic funnel necks_ and layered tops.
