Calvin Klein Taps Veronica Leoni as Creative Director<\/strong>
\nAfter five years, Calvin Klein<\/a> has appointed new creative directorVeronica Leoni<\/a> for their collections. Starting this September, the brand has selected her to oversee women\u2019s and men\u2019s apparel, underwear, and accessories, with her debut runway collection set for fall 2025. A 2023 LVMH Prize finalist and founder of Quira<\/a>, Leoni boasts an impressive resume, having worked with Jil Sander<\/a>, Celine<\/a>, Moncler<\/a>, and most recently, The Row<\/a>, where she directed both womenswear and menswear design. She aims to blend her industry expertise with Calvin Klein\u2019s heritage and contemporary aesthetic, collaborating with global brand president Eva Serrano to infuse inspiration from the Collection into the mainline portfolio and the red carpet. Calvin Klein Collection, previously known as 205W39NYC, was discontinued in March 2019 following the abrupt exit of former chief creative officer Raf Simons<\/a> in December 2018. Serrano expressed her confidence in Leoni, stating, \u201cIf you met her, you would understand. When I met her and she told me about her story, her experience, how hard she worked, the brands that she contributed to, in that moment, I had the feeling that she had been preparing her whole career for this position.\u201d Leoni\u2019s appointment marks the first time Calvin Klein Collection has had a female creative director. Simons, now co-designer of Prada alongside Miuccia Prada, had significantly redirected Calvin Klein’s collections since joining in 2016, making sweeping changes to teams and ad campaigns. Leoni, currently based in Rome, will split her time between Rome and New York as \u201cthe global hub for the Collection is New York,\u201d noted Serrano. [WWD<\/a>]<\/p>\n
