Veronica Leoni

Named creative director of Calvin Klein Collection in 2024, Veronica Leoni is ushering in a new era of design-led reinvention at one of the most iconic American fashion brands. Her appointment marked a pivotal turning point for Calvin Klein, reflecting parent company PVH’s ambition to re-establish the house as a global force in modern minimalism and cultural relevance. Before taking the helm at Calvin Klein, Leoni built a career across some of fashion’s most influential houses. A graduate in philosophy turned designer, she worked under Raf Simons at Jil Sander, contributed to Céline under Phoebe Philo, and led womenswear at Moncler 1952, where she helped define its elevated utilitarian aesthetic. She also contributed to The Row, refining her fluency in quiet luxury and precision tailoring. In 2021, she launched her own label, QUIRA, which quickly gained critical acclaim and secured her place as a 2023 LVMH Prize finalist and 2024 Andam Grand Prize nominee. Leoni was inducted into the BoF 500 in 2025, joining the definitive index of the people shaping global fashion.

Leoni’s design language — rooted in structure, restraint, and emotional resonance — made her a natural choice for Calvin Klein, a brand long defined by clean lines, sensuality, and bold cultural statements. In her first collections for the house, she is reasserting its design credibility while aligning with a new generation’s desire for purposeful, pared-back luxury.
