Calvin Klein Spring 2026 Collection
For her second collection at Calvin Klein, Veronica Leoni delivered a powerful statement that balanced intimacy with spectacle, translating the restless energy of New York into a lineup defined by minimalism, restrained sensuality, and a sharp reinterpretation of the house’s cultural legacy.
Staged at the Brant Foundation in downtown Manhattan, the show unfolded in an intimate atmosphere that felt undeniably modern. The front row featured Solange Knowles, Emily Ratajkowski, Lily Collins, Rosalía, and Jung Kook, underscoring the cultural resonance of the brand today. From the very beginning, Leoni made clear her intent: to capture not only clothes, but the state of mind Calvin Klein has always represented—freshness, confidence, and effortless modernity.
The collection opened with apron-style dresses in crisp cotton and structured silk, moving into sharp tailoring with plunging jackets that revealed sheer, technical balconette bras. The dialogue between purity and seduction remained a through line, echoed in silk foulard dresses draped with archival 1974 florals and a strikingly minimal monastic coat.
True to Calvin Klein’s DNA of underwear and denim, Leoni expanded these codes into new territory: oversized five-pocket jeans, couture-level tweed dresses interwoven with the iconic logo waistband, and accessories—including sunglasses—that referenced the same signature elastic. Standouts included crinkled gray leather trenches, oversized cargo shorts and trousers, and playful cheerleader organza pom-poms attached to minimalist slip dresses.
Leoni also envisioned looks that seamlessly transitioned from day to night: butter-yellow leather trenches for mornings, bikini-draped silk dresses for afternoons, and laser-cut leather bathrobes mimicking towels with a sensual, luxurious twist for evenings. The overall effect was a cinematic yet grounded portrait of the global New York woman, straddling everyday reality and aspirational fantasy.
