7 For All Mankind appoints Nicola Brognano as creative director

With denim in its DNA, yet now a fully fledged head-to-toe label, 7 For All Mankind is entering a new era with the appointment of Italian designer Nicola Brognano as its new creative director.

The brand, which was founded in Los Angeles in the year 2000, shared the news on its Instagram account. 7 For All Mankind enjoyed cult status in the 2000s and, to a degree, the 2010s, before gradually losing popularity over the past decade, and in 2016 it was acquired by the Israeli group Delta Galil Industries.

Initially known as a jeans label worn by fashion’s It girls, 7 For All Mankind has expanded its lines to offer a complete wardrobe, notably featuring a wide range of elegant leather jackets and gilets.

Nicola Brognano, born in Calabria in 1990, studied at Istituto Marangoni and won the Who is on Next? competition in 2016, standing out for his recognisable stylistic signature and his ability to interpret the contemporary moment in a personal and compelling way. In 2015, he founded the womenswear brand that bears his name, a project he later put on hold after the pandemic.

In 2019, Brognano became the designer at the Carpi-based label Blumarine, part of Marco Marchi’s Eccellenze Italiane holding. The collaboration then ended by mutual agreement in October 2023.
