Calvin Klein has made a triumphant return to New York Fashion Week, marking a new era for the iconic brand. The autumn/winter 2025 runway show, held at the brand's New York headquarters, was the first New York Fashion Week show since 2018.
The event was a star-studded affair, with legendary designer Calvin Klein, 82, making a rare appearance alongside longtime collaborators, loved ones, and friends. Among the attendees were Anna Wintour, Kelly Rector, Christy Turlington, Kate Moss, Alexander Skarsgård, Nara Smith, Bad Bunny, and Kendall Jenner, who walked the runway.
The show showcased a "24/7 kind of wardrobe" designed by new creative director Veronica Leoni, who joined Calvin Klein in May. Leoni's debut marked "a new era of innovation and creativity, embracing a fresh vision for the brand while honoring its iconic heritage," according to Eva Serrano, Calvin Klein Global Brand President.
This return to New York Fashion Week signifies a significant milestone for Calvin Klein, marking the first time the brand has been led by a woman. Leoni's vision for the brand focuses on empowerment and confidence, with a consistent message across all aspects of the brand, from product to marketing.
