Overview
- Calvin Klein confirmed Thursday that Veronica Leoni will depart Collection at the end of her current contract and that new creative leadership will be announced “in due course.”
- Leoni was hired in May 2024, made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week in February 2025, and showed four seasons for Collection, with her final collection debuting in September 2026.
- The company credited Leoni with reestablishing Collection on the runway and building notable cultural visibility and social engagement across her four shows.
- PVH reported a 7 percent year‑over‑year revenue decline for Calvin Klein in the most recent quarter, a commercial backdrop that frames why the succession at Collection matters to the parent company.
- The creative vacancy leaves questions about Collection’s next direction, while Leoni — who paused her label Quira to run Collection — has not announced her future plans and the brand will name a successor later.
