Calvin Klein Collection made a bold return to New York Fashion Week with its Fall 2025 collection under Veronica Leoni’s creative direction. The show reinforces the brand’s minimalist identity while shaping its future.
«Calvin Klein has always inspired me, and shaping its next chapter is a unique opportunity,» says Leoni. «My goal is to define monumental minimalism through form and craftsmanship, bringing Mr. Klein’s vision into the present.»
The collection redefines essentials, blending minimalism with self-expression. Key pieces include coats, trenches, capes, suits, silk blouses, shirts, trousers, square-toe flats, high heels, handbags, eyewear, and a CK One bottle reinvented as a clutch. Tailoring is stripped down into three silhouettes: slim and sharp, loose and cropped, and fluid and enveloping. Underwear elements subtly appear in knitted henleys, slip dresses, and relaxed tailoring.
Balancing purity and expressiveness, the collection moves from structured cuts to embroidery, sheer organza, soft draping, and back to defined silhouettes. Fabrics range from soft wool and cashmere to sturdy gabardine, twill, matte moleskin, brushed cotton, and satin. A neutral palette—black, granite, moon gray, fudge, off-white, and porcelain—features unexpected touches of raspberry and citron.
The show took place at Calvin Klein’s global headquarters in New York’s Garment District, with a sculpted carpet featuring the new logo, merging heritage with modernity. With its revival, Calvin Klein Collection introduces a refined visual identity with M/M (Paris), balancing classic and modern elements. A striking label image, typically hidden yet close to the skin, symbolizes Leoni’s vision of reinstating desire at the brand’s core.
A geometric sans-serif logo enhances structure, warmth, and readability. A custom typeface, inspired by Roman inscriptions like Trajan’s Column, brings proportion and modernity. This distinct visual language honors Calvin Klein’s heritage while defining its future.
