Veronica Leoni was appointed Calvin Klein creative director in May 2024. Back in February, the Italian designer (and 2023 LVMH Prize finalist) presented her debut collection as the creative force behind the New York-based label. On day two of New York Fashion Week, Leoni staged her Spring 2026 collection for Calvin Klein, marking her second outing as creative director. Guests like Rosalía and Lily Collins made their way to the Brant Foundation gallery in downtown Manhattan for the occasion, to bear witness to a collection filled with fringe, scarf details, rich textures, minimalism, and sumptuous silhouettes.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“The audience looks so bored.” [LadyJunon]
“The lack of clapping is enough for everyone to know how uneventful the collection was.” [GivenchyAddict]
“Another boring and bland season. Is anyone actually buying this? I’m the first to want a Calvin Collection success story, but this lady has zero ability to do this job.” [aa2005]
“She’s really just doing whatever. There are zero points of sale for the first collection yet, somehow. Kind of makes me feel like they’re already divesting from this comeback. No announcement of the show until 4 hours beforehand, no set budget, no video or livestream, no campaign, no announced stockists.” [hamburgers]
“It’s so devoided of any sensuality and sexuality.” [carla56]
“This is not Calvin Klein. The designer is struggling to get it right.” [MModa]
“She is living in a bubble and it shows. Leoni is making clothes for an idea, a fantasy; it’s just a moodboard.” [Lola701]
