No. 21 and 7 For All Mankind Collaborate on Sustainable and Genderless Denim Collection
Who: No. 21 and 7 For All Mankind
What: Denim capsule collaboration
Where: Online at numeroventuno.com and 7forallmankind.com
Why: For its resort 2022 collection, 7 For All Mankind is partnering for the first time with Italian luxury label No. 21, led by designer Alessandro Dell’Acqua. The capsule is a step on the American denim brand’s journey toward using 80 percent sustainable materials by 2023. The new collection of exaggerated overshirts, hoodies, and capes paired with slouchy wide-legged crop jeans feature overtly feminine codes, complete with a sculpted bra, pussy-bow blouse, and chiffon-trimmed pencil skirt for fully dynamic looks. The collection plays with gendered proportions and fluidity, too (see: No. 21’s signature blush pink and and 7 For All Mankind’s iconic indigo blues). This debut arrives just in time for No. 21’s 21st (!) anniversary and includes an accompanying campaign shot by Robin Galiegue, who directs androgynous street-cast models with a powerful message of inclusivity and fearless individuality. The spirit of the partnership is a commitment to the environment, with pieces designed for people across all spectrums of identity.

The collection includes a crinkle effect long jacket, the Kappa 222 Banda tracksuit, and raglan tees with a co-branded logo featuring Kappa’s icon (famously the first logo depicting a human being).
