Calvin Klein, Inc. presented today the Calvin Klein Collection Spring 2027 runway show by Creative Director Veronica Leoni at Terminal Warehouse in New York City. A continuation of the exploration of American Minimalism.
“American Minimalism was a discipline of removal: take away everything that does not carry the work, until only what is necessary remains,” said Veronica Leoni, Creative Director of Calvin Klein Collection . “Calvin drew from that and turned it toward the body. I turn it toward the woman inside it. My minimalism begins there, in the relation between design and a body, with nothing in between. Take everything away. What is left is desire.”
The Collection is built from the house’s foundational pieces—the coat, the shirt, tailoring, the trouser, the pencil skirt, the slip—with proportions that run longer and narrower, or are cinched at the waist. Tailoring is cut thin and crisp in cotton and lightweight wool: a three-button cotton suit, slim, with the ease of a t-shirt, and a broader-shouldered jacket made to be layered. Slip and t-shirt dresses are cut as full bias evening dresses. Extra-fine silk knit tees and color-blocked baseball shirts in silk cady carry the Collection’s American sportswear vernacular with denim, leather, laser-cut suede and delicate flashes of underwear rounding out the Collection. The palette moves through a multitude of whites and blacks, with scarlet, bright yellow, royal blue, cherry and light citron, and a check drawn from and inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s wardrobe.
