Italian fashion guru Anna Dello Russo likes to see contradiction in her clothing. Think dark and lightweight, glamorous with odd.

That’s the design element she used for her recent collaboration with Seven For All Mankind, which launches on Friday. The style editor, celebrity and creator mixed Swarovski crystals with denim for a seven-piece capsule that features a shirt, shorts, a jumpsuit, jeans, a body-con dress, a cropped denim jacket, and a cropped tank. It is named Seven For All Mankind by Anna Dello Russo.

For an attractive look, she reached back to the ’90s when silhouettes were tighter, the antithesis of today’s oversize clothing. “I set out with the thought to make the gathering related to body consciousness. All of the pieces and items on the jeans and pants are very sculpted, lifted, tight to the body,” she said in a phone interview. “Second, I put denim next to glamour. On this case, I put crystals on the material to make it more glamorous. It’s a contradiction.”

The body-con dress has cutout circles surrounded by Swarovski crystals. The denim shirt’s front pockets are topped with crystals; the very abbreviated shorts have crystals adorning the pockets, and the denim jacket has cutout circles studded with crystals. Denim pants, with bootcut shapes, even have cutout circles surrounded by crystals. The photo campaign features supermodel Stella Maxwell with Dello Russo serving because the creative director and stylist.

Retail prices for the pre-fall 2023 collection range from $298 to $898. Bloomingdale’s and Harrods will probably be carrying the gathering in addition to select stores and online.

This will not be the style expert’s first collaboration. She has worked on capsules with other brands including Yoox, Los Angeles streetwear brand RtA, Swedish retailer H&M, Atelier Swarovski, and recently, Max&Co.

Dello Russo said she was approached by Seven For All Mankind one 12 months ago to work on the project. “My collaboration got here after I exited Vogue Japan [as fashion editor at large]. That made me more free to do different experiences and collaborations,” she said.

Dello Russo also worked for 12 years as the style editor at Vogue Italia. In 2018, she released a fashion tome called “AdR: Beyond Fashion,” encompassing 10 mini books, which included photos of garments she auctioned off at Christie’s for charity, a pop-up children’s style book and one section done within the form of a magazine.
