Another amazing fashion collaboration is on the rise, and this time it has a couture foundation. Seven for All Mankind has linked with Giambattista Valli to create what will possibly be the “it” collection of Spring 2015. With Seven for All Mankind’s edginess and the classic beauty of Giambattista Valli, this collection is sure to have an overflow of style.

According to WWD, the collection will include high-waisted jeans and dressy T-shirts in lipstick shades and animal prints. The co-branded collection is slated to be delivered in two installments in mid-February and in May to freestanding Seven For All Mankind stores and select wholesale doors, bringing Valli’s style to a wider audience.

Valli said in Milan on Monday that he wanted to bring “a joyful sense” to the collection, and its communication will highlight an imagery blending “the Parisian and Los Angeles girls in a hotel particulier for a young multicultural customer.” The designer underscored that the collection will be entirely made in Italy with Italian fabrics.

The first capsule delivery hinges on seven high-waisted skinny pants in seven shades of matte-coated red and pink denim — aptly dubbed “Lipsticks,” and on a number of graphic animal prints made by the same printer Valli employs for his couture looks. This capsule also includes a minidress, a sleeveless top, a flared top, shorts and a jacket in similar fabrications. The second delivery includes high-waisted and skinny jeans in seven different shades of blue; a group of fluorescent neon hues partly bleached to pastel colors, and white lace denim. This second segment also includes high-waist flared pants, a playsuit, a bomber and a peplum top. Grosgrain trims used for closures and tags add an additional luxurious touch.

You may expect this collection in about 60 Seven For All Mankind stores globally, and about 76 specialty and premium department stores around the world, while the second delivery will have a wider distribution, adding doors and premium department stores.

Stay tuned for more looks….Enjoy ~ xxxooo
