The brand makes a long-awaited return to New York Fashion Week
with a Collection rooted in the brand’s DNA, highlighting monumental minimalism
Calvin Klein presented today the Fall 2025 Calvin Klein Collection runway show. This moment marks Calvin Klein Collection’s return to New York Fashion Week and Veronica Leoni’s debut for the brand, the latest in a series of strategic steps to solidify Calvin Klein as one of the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world.
Calvin Klein Collection is the pinnacle expression of the brand, connecting its founding spirit, ethos and typeface to the now. An ode to monumental minimalism, the Fall 2025 Calvin Klein Collection is built on the idea of clothes for life, inspired by American beauty.
“As a designer, I have always been deeply inspired by Calvin Klein, and the chance to write this next chapter for the brand is a one-of-a-kind opportunity,” said Veronica Leoni, Creative Director for Calvin Klein Collection. “My goal is to define an ultimate and definitive expression of monumental minimalism and pureness through shape and craft, bringing Mr. Klein’s original vision and distinctive approach into the current day.”
Across the Collection is a focus on addictive wardrobe staples that marry the audacity of minimalism with the power of self-expression: the coat, the trench, the crombie, the cape, the suit, the silk blouse, the shirt, the five-pocket trouser, the square-toed flats, the high-heel pump, the handbags, the eyewear, the CK One bottle reimagined as a clutch. Tailoring is hollowed out from the inside for weightless integrity in three silhouettes: lean and narrow; loose and cropped; and draping and enveloping. Underwear is a recurring theme, filtered through intimacy suggested by a knitted henley, a flowing slip dress and the ease of slouchy tailoring.
The Collection explores the tension between pureness and expressiveness, with strict cuts giving way to embroidery and embellishment, then to wild organza and liquid draping, then back to steady restraint. Tactility defines the fabrics, from dense and soft wool and cashmere to firm, dry gabardine and twill, to matte moleskin and brushed cotton, to shiny faille and satin. The Collection’s urban palette is rooted in the brand’s signature neutrals – black, granite, moongrey, fudge, off-white and porcelain – with unexpected accents of barolo, raspberry and pale citron.
The intimate show took place in Calvin Klein’s longtime global headquarters at 205 West 39th Street in New York City’s Garment District. The show environment was rooted in Calvin Klein Collection’s visual identity that blends the brand’s rich legacy and forward-thinking vision. The space was grounded in plush carpeting hand-carved with the new Calvin Klein Collection logo, translating its distinctive aesthetic into a physical runway.
About Calvin Klein Collection’s visual identity:
With the reintroduction of Calvin Klein Collection, the brand establishes a new visual identity developed in partnership with M/M (Paris). Rooted in Calvin Klein’s history, it reflects the tension between the classic and the modern, balancing precision, restraint, and expressiveness—a reflection of Veronica Leoni’s design ethos.
The new identity was first revealed through a stark image of a label, an element usually concealed yet worn close to the skin. This intimate detail reflects Veronica Leoni’s intent to reinstate desire at the heart of the Calvin Klein aesthetic.
A refined typographic system, drawn from Calvin Klein’s visual heritage, the logotype incorporates a lighter geometric sans-serif, refining its structure, introducing warmth and optimizing legibility. For Collection, a custom typeface was developed inspired by classical Roman inscriptions, particularly the Trajan Column. This new design distills proportion, permanence and modernity, echoing Calvin Klein’s legacy while defining a distinct visual identity.
