Calvin Klein returns to New York Fashion Week after 6-year hiatus
American fashion brand Calvin Klein will unveil its first fashion collection under new creative director Veronica Leoni at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) in February 2025. This marks the brand’s return to the NYFW stage after a hiatus of six and a half years. Veronica Leoni will be responsible for the design of the brand’s men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, lingerie, and accessories collections. A finalist for the 2023 LVMH Prize and founder of the brand Quira, Leoni has gained attention for her refined, modern aesthetic. Steven Kolb, CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), emphasized that Calvin Klein’s return to NYFW holds significant meaning for the event. Over the years, Calvin Klein’s runway shows have been a key part of NYFW, and this comeback marks a new chapter in the brand’s history.
