After two years.
Fashion’s creative director shuffle continues, and this time, Calvin Klein is back in the headlines. Veronica Leoni is officially stepping down from her role at Calvin Klein Collection after four seasons, closing a chapter that saw the Italian designer bring the American fashion house back to the runway after a seven-year hiatus. Appointed in 2024, Leoni made history as the first woman to lead the label, and her vision reworked Calvin Klein’s signature ’90s minimalism through sculptural silhouettes, refined tailoring and a new sense of sensuality, setting the stage for a new era at the iconic label.
Her final collection, unveiled in September 2026, marked a return to simplicity and received good reviews, making her exit an especially interesting turning point for the brand. Calvin Klein has yet to announce her successor, but the company has reaffirmed that Collection remains central to its long-term vision.
