Top 5 New York Fashion Week shows

After a seven-year hiatus, Calvin Klein’s return to New York Fashion Week was the most anticipated show on the official schedule. Backdropped by a star-studded front row that included South Korean actor Rowoon and Thai sweetheart Tontawan Tantivejakul, all eyes were on Veronica Leoni’s debut with the same question crossing everybody’s mind: How will she put her unique spin on Klein’s hallmark minimalism?

Unlike other creative directors who have built upon archival inspirations, Leoni approached the season with self-proclaimed “instinct”. What resulted was a series of impeccably cut tailored ensembles with sculptural touches. Along with coats in cocoon-shapes and in sweeping blanket iterations, skirt-suits with broad power shoulders were another highlight. While long-time Klein fans rejoiced at the resurrection of his slingback ballerina flats, ensembles marked by straight trousers styled with form-fitting blouses and knitwear felt like a homage to Raf Simons’ prior tenure at the brand. 

Some may be quick to pinpoint a resemblance to The Row, Jil Sander and Phoebe Philo’s Celine (all hotbeds for reductionism where Leoni cut her teeth), but let’s give credit where credit is due: the collection was an undeniable display of effortless sophistication. That emblematic sexy Calvin Klein woman? To Leoni, she is someone who exudes confidence from within first.
