BOUNDARIES
For people who thrive on creativity, pushing the limits of what is possible is often the only way to stay inspired. This fall is proof that for some, creativity knows no bounds. From the rebellious punk-inspired trend to an exclusive collaboration with France’s legendary couture textile house, there are no limits. It’s a season rich with boundary breaking creativity and unprecedented innovation.
“From punk rock to grunge, plaid has always had a place in boundary pushing fashion. I love the way it can be edgy, but also feel sophisticated and chic.”
TREND ESSENTIAL
- BARRY MIGUEL , PRESIDENT OF 7 FOR ALL MANKIND
PLAID
From punk rockers on the streets of 1970s London to the layered up grunge look of the mid-nineties; plaid has been a style hallmark of so many influential trends in fashion.This fall it’s back in a big way, looking bold, modern and versatile enough for the office or a night out. So this season, grab your plaid and style it with sleek and sophisticated pieces that keep the look fresh and pulled together for any occasion.

INNOVATION
ANATOMY of A JEAN
For fall, the opulent world of high-end couture meets the ease and innovation of premium denim with the new 7 For All Mankind x Malhia Kent collection. The line is exemplary of what can happen when two forces at the top of their field collide to create the best of what they’re known for. The result is the perfect marriage of Malhia Kent’s time-honored textile design and 7 For All Mankind’s best stretch denim. The stylish, texture-heavy pieces are as high-end and head turning as denim can be. Here we highlight the handcrafted process that goes into one of the four impeccable items.
