Nicola Brognano Leads 7 for All Mankind Y2K Revival
Nicola Brognano became the creative director of 7 for All Mankind in 2025 and staged an inaugural runway show during February New York Fashion Week.
Designer brings Y2K energy to brand
Brognano previously served as creative director at Blumarine from 2020 until 2023. He transformed that label by injecting Y2K energy into its previous bohemian style. His new collection for 7 for All Mankind features ultra-skinny jeans and babydoll dresses. The fall campaign stars Chloë Sevigny on digital screens throughout the Soho store.
Collection recalls early aughts fashion
Models walked in shrunken black pea coats with exaggerated shoulders and skinny scarves. Hero pieces included wax-coated maxi skirts and low-rise pants reminiscent of Britney Spears era trends. Brognano stated he wanted to bring sexiness back while imagining a strong woman with an eccentric attitude. He cited Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as inspiration for the rockish indie sleaze sensibility.
Styling session highlights new direction
A styling session at the Soho store demonstrated the polished yet nostalgic nature of the 2026 collection. The designer wore a leather jacket layered over a hoodie during the meeting with editors. Models wore sheer silky blouses and cropped leather jackets to showcase the updated aesthetic.
