After six years away from the runway, Calvin Klein Collection made a triumphant return to New York Fashion Week, now under the creative direction of Veronica Leoni. With a sharp eye for female desire and a masterful approach to sophisticated minimalism, the Italian designer introduced a collection that balances sensuality and functionality with effortless precision.
A New Definition of Seduction
“What if, instead of simply being desired, women were the ones who desired?” This question guided Leoni in shaping a wardrobe that redefines Calvin Klein’s signature sex appeal. The result? Precise tailoring, imposing trench coats, fluid slip dresses, and fitted sweaters that contour the body without constraining it. There’s a quiet confidence in every piece—a play between revealing and concealing that only a woman designing for women can execute so naturally.
Minimalism with Monumental Presence
The new Calvin Klein refuses to be confined by labels of “daywear” or “eveningwear.” Leoni envisions a wardrobe that flows effortlessly between work and leisure, maintaining an air of refined ease. Draped dresses stand out as the ultimate expression of this philosophy—sophisticated yet comfortable, sensual yet understated.
Beyond the clothes, Leoni pays homage to the brand’s heritage with modern interpretations of Calvin Klein’s most iconic elements. The CK One perfume bottle is transformed into a stylish mini bag, while the square-toe ballet flats—originally designed by Calvin Klein himself in 1999—make a striking return.
Leoni’s vision is undeniably minimalist, but it carries a new kind of intelligence—one that understands the modern woman’s need for both protection and allure. This is not just a revival of Calvin Klein; it’s a reinvention, one that proves simplicity can be just as powerful as extravagance.
