Veronica Leoni Leaves Calvin Klein After Two Years
- On Thursday, Calvin Klein announced that creative director Veronica Leoni will depart at the end of her current contract after four seasons leading Calvin Klein Collection.
- Appointed in May 2024 as the first woman to lead the house, Leoni oversaw Calvin Klein's runway return in February 2025 following a seven-year hiatus. She previously worked at Jil Sander and Phoebe Philo's Céline.
- Critics initially found her designs overcomplicated, though her final collection earned praise for simplification. Calvin Klein stated the Collection remains "an important part of Calvin Klein's long-term strategy and the pinnacle expression of the brand."
- A successor has not yet been named, though Calvin Klein stated that new creative leadership for the Collection will be revealed "in due course." The brand continues modernizing its lifestyle identity.
- Global brand president David Savman previously emphasized the Collection's goal to be "the ultimate expression of the brand," which recently achieved a 15.3 million score in social engagement during New York Fashion Week.
