In the label's latest line, we saw a range of pieces, all the way from sensible to sensual.&nbsp;

After her highly anticipated <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/calvin-klein-fall-winter-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut collection for Calvin Klein</a>&mdash;shown earlier this year in New York&mdash;creative director <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/veronica-leoni-calvin-klein-creative-director" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Veronica Leoni</a> has once again demonstrated her top-tier sartorial skills.&nbsp;
The label, known as the originator of minimalist New York City aesthetics, presented its Spring/Summer 2026 collection in the airy, open halls of the Brant Foundation, which, like the brand, is a veritable institution of art and design.&nbsp;
Within the world of Calvin Klein, visual interest rarely comes from shocking cutouts or explosive patterns. Rather, it's clean, sharp tailoring and sensual essentials that tell the label's stories. In the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the same is true, but this time, garments are infused with some of Leoni's own design signatures&mdash;think playful proportions and sleeker silhouettes&mdash;in a compelling, artful marriage of the designer and the label's respective identities.&nbsp;
&ldquo;With my second&nbsp;Collection&nbsp;I wanted to express this feeling of&nbsp;Calvin Klein&nbsp;as a way of being rather than a way of appearing, capturing its state of mind with a bold and unadorned ardor. The tension between a deep sense of intimacy and the taste for exposure finds its solution through craft and artisanship," said Leoni in a release.&nbsp;
The designer also added that for this line, she took inspiration from some of the most iconic American film characters, who appear spontaneous and expressive in every facet of their lives.&nbsp;
Flowing caftans, ever-so-slightly oversized suits, and sensible calf-length dresses ruled the sophisticated, polished side of the brand's culture, but on the other half, wrapped dresses with silhouettes evocative of dressing gowns, silky garter belts fastened to oversized pompoms, and leggings incorporating Calvin Klein's iconic <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bad-bunny-calvin-klein-campaign-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">underwear</a> waistbands ruled&mdash;in a nod to the balancing act between sensuality and minimalism the founder famously played.&nbsp;
Typically, Leoni works with gray tones, khaki hues, and black and whites, but the Spring/Summer 2026 collection saw several playful pops of color, present most palpably in bubblegum pink utility suits, bright green wrapped tops, and loose-fitting crimson-toned jeans.
For ultra-chic twists on the label's classic looks, celebrities and fashion insiders alike flocked to the front row. Sitting in row A were stars like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jung-kook-calvin-klein-spring-2023-campaign-global-ambassador-bts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jung Kook</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/the-summer-i-turned-pretty-series-tv-cast-lola-tung-christopher-briney-gavin-casalegno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Briney</a>, Ego Nwodim, Solange Knowles, Iris Law, Nico Parker, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/calvin-klein-rosalia-underwear-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rosal&iacute;a</a>, and Britt Lower, among others, who leaned forward attentively as a parade of polished styles passed down the runway.&nbsp;
