Seven For All Mankind’s Limited-Edition Photo Print Pieces

We’re thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab! The L.A.-based denim brand has partnered with one of Japan’s most famous photographers, Mika Ninagawa (she’s repped by the same gallery that introduced us to Takashi Murakami), to produce seven limited-edition summer-perfect pieces. Here’s a peek at two of them. Ninagawa’s vivid, conceptual still life photos of flowers are riveting to look at–and are an ingenious way to add a pop of color to your weekend wardrobe. I would pair the tee with a chic flippy mini for a night out (a la Proenza Schouler ), or with a super-sleek below-the-knee pencil skirt for a hint of Jil Sander-dom. The shorts would look great with a white tee or white button-down silk shirt and leather wedges. Both pieces really are perfect pick-me-ups. The collection, priced from $89 to $198, will be available in mid-August at all Seven for All Mankind boutiques across the U.S. For more fashion fun from Lucky , here are more Lucky stories .
