Veronica Leoni to Exit Calvin Klein Collection

Calvin Klein said the departure closes a two‑year relaunch of its luxury Collection and that new creative leadership will be announced in due course.

Overview

  • Calvin Klein announced Thursday that Veronica Leoni will leave at the end of her current contract and that a successor for the Collection line will be named in due course.
  • Leoni was hired in May 2024, debuted the relaunched Collection at New York Fashion Week in February 2025, and presented four seasons with her final collection shown in September 2026.
  • David Savman, Calvin Klein’s global brand president, publicly thanked Leoni for her creative vision and credited her with helping reestablish Collection on the runway.
  • The brand saw rising cultural traction under Leoni, topping New York Fashion Week social engagement with a 15.3 million score and drawing high‑profile celebrity attendance for recent shows.
  • The exit comes as PVH reported a 7 percent revenue decline for Calvin Klein to $913.3 million in the latest quarter, raising questions about how the luxury Collection will fit into the company’s commercial strategy and what that could mean for Leoni’s paused label, Quira.
