Last week we joined 7 For All Mankind in a preview party celebrating their luxury, denim-centric fall/winter collection. The invitation asked us to "re-discover the Bootcut," the "celebrated fit that started it all." And, while we probably won't do that—we're not sure anyone's quite forgotten the Bootcut—we were won over by the class and wearability of their upcoming collection.
A more sophisticated, subtle 7, the racks were heavy on buttery-soft leather jackets; blousy, asymmetrical tops; brass buttons; motorcycle-everything; and jeans printed in barely-there, monochromatic cheetah spots. The tee shirts were heathered heavenly soft, the wovens—lots of plaid—were California light and fluttery, and those signature stitched back pockets ranged from the blunt and bling of classic 7 (for die hards who are wearing Bootcut right now) to simplified and subtle for our post-designer denim world (or, just for those who don't plan on re-discovering the Bootcut quite yet).
Peruse the gallery for highlights—and don't miss the baby 7s (they're back and they're priced around $100), the full footwear collection, and a great assortment of sun- and optical-glasses.
