Seven for All Mankind has a long list of celebrity fans, so it made perfect sense that star stylistRachel Zoe hosted the opening of the first ever 7 for All Mankind store on trendy Robertson Blvd. Zoe, in Super Flare 7 jeans and a vintage YSL top, set the record straight on the debate between skinny and wide-leg jeans. “They’re both still really valuable I think, and you should hold onto them both.” But she say to skip anything acid washed! Other 7 jean fans like Rashida Jones, Kelly Hu and Christina Milian came out to snack, shop and listen to tunes spun by Samantha Ronson. With the first store opening, 7 also showed off their sexy new shoe collection alongside their already popular purse collection — and, of course, the racks upon racks of denim. Though L.A. has the only free standing store so far, you can still shop all the great styles at 7forallmankind.com — come back to Off the Rack later in the month for an exclusive discount!
