Italian designer Veronica Leoni is leaving her role as creative director of Calvin Klein Collection, according to multiple fashion industry outlets. Reports say her departure follows four seasons in the position, which began when she was appointed in May 2024.
Outlets describe Leoni’s tenure as including the presentation and reintroduction of the Calvin Klein Collection line, with some noting that she oversaw four collections for the brand. WWD reports that speculation had been building in recent months about whether her contract would be renewed. Business of Fashion says a successor will be appointed “in due course,” though no name is provided.
Across the coverage, the main points align on the timing of Leoni’s appointment, the duration of her tenure, and the expectation that Calvin Klein will name a new creative director after her exit. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis, with some focusing on the creative output of her four seasons and others highlighting the contract-renewal uncertainty that preceded the announcement.
