One to Watch.
Since the departure of Raf Simons as creative director in 2017, Calvin Klein’s runway collections have been in a state of limbo. The brand has decided to announce its comeback in an exuberant way, announcing the appointment of former LVMH prize finalist Veronica Leoni as Simons’ successor, along with a debut date.
“For decades, Calvin Klein interpreted the idea of bold self-expression, and I am willing to empower it with a strong accent on style and creativity. I’m deeply thankful to Eva Serrano for her vision and trust. My career has been marked by inspiring encounters with some of the most visionary women in fashion and she is one of them,” said Leoni in a statement.
Formerly at Jil Sander, Celine, and Moncler, Leoni is set to completely overhaul the brands assortment of collections. Her first release will include everything from mens and womenswear to underwear and accessories.
Titled “Collection,” Leoni’s first installment with Calvin Klein will be debuted during the Fall/Winter fashion week circuit in 2025.
