American company Calvin Klein, Inc. today presented the Fall/Winter 2026 Calvin Klein Collection runway show by Veronica Leoni. The show took place at The Shed at Hudson Yards in New York City.
Veronica Leoni’s Calvin Klein Collection for Fall/Winter 2026 explores the hedonistic elegance that lies at the core of the brand. The focus is on the cult of the body, the joy in emphasizing its perfection and the obsessive search for beauty. The collection takes a reductionist approach. An increased sense of precision intensifies the dialogue between clothing and body.
“This season was defined by an examination of Calvin Klein’s strong iconographic history, coupled with a rigorous examination of form, craft and meaningful simplification,” said Veronica Leoni, Creative Director of the Calvin Klein Collection. “I wanted to condense my expression of elegance and style based on how the brand defined it in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With intimacy and a focus on form and the body, the aim is to evoke a feeling of empowerment and pleasure that is unmistakably Calvin Klein.”
The expression of the Fall/Winter 2026 collection is conveyed through essential pieces. These include suits, trench coats, blousons, coats and dresses. These are combined with stilettos, flats, boots, clutch and duffle bags and color-coordinated gloves. Denim comes into focus with an interpretation of archival denim from 1976. This was shown for the first time on the Calvin Klein catwalk. The collection includes a full denim suit worn under slim coats. Additionally, the original, handwritten logo is embroidered on a flight jacket and a checked trench coat.
The silhouette is consistently high and straight. Precise, slim cuts with surprisingly backless and sleeveless details create tension. Intricately crafted dresses have contrasting, plain backs that reveal undergarments. White collars stand out, while biker collars add a rugged touch. Lambskin collars suggest grandeur and eventually expand into a complete lambskin coat. Texture and color define an urban scene of neutral and muted tones. These are occasionally brightened by tangerine or burgundy. The range of fabrics is wide. It ranges from dry suit wools, ribbed jersey and flowing velvet to bonded satin, cotton, grosgrain, spazzolato leather and opaque and transparent leathers.
