7 For All Mankind

7 For All Mankind was founded in Los Angeles in 2000 by Michael Glasser, Peter Koral, and Jerome Dahan. The label helped make premium denim a recognizable fashion category, treating the jean as a product defined by fabric, fit, and finishing. Its California origins connected that ambition to an established culture of casual dress.

Menswear followed in 2002, extending the business beyond its original women’s jeans. The men’s collection built its identity around denim that could move between everyday settings, with washes and cuts giving a basic wardrobe piece different characters. The back-pocket stitching became a recognizable signature, while fabric development addressed comfort and shape retention.

The wider wardrobe grew around that foundation. Shirts and knitwear offered ways to dress with the jeans, allowing the brand to develop a more complete interpretation of casual clothing. Denim remained the reference point, even when the collection moved into other categories.

Delta Galil acquired the business in 2016. The appointment of Nicola Brognano as creative director in 2025 opened another chapter, bringing a broader fashion perspective to the label’s denim history. Its lasting role in menswear comes from helping make the choice of jeans as specific as the choice of a tailored jacket.
