Calvin Klein Collection F/W 2025.26 New York

[NakedAndAfraid]

I see this having huge marketing potential for CK. They have the brand awareness from multiple decades to tap into. I see the greys here reminiscent of the iconic BW ads. They could be the minimalist brand (for the masses). Maybe I'm delusional.

Definitely not sexy, maybe if you see the work obsessed "office siren" that way. Don't like the droop, don't want to see the boring men's. Did like the potential.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

The beginning of Cathy's article is disturbing: bringing the Jaws collection (which is maybe the most hideous thing perpetrated ever by Raf) and saying two lines later that Raf is a master of minimalism...

Now, I agree with her that this collection lacks sex appeal.
I like Angelina's look. I can imagine that, underneath that severe jacket, there is a ribbed white tank top. Next time, Veronica, show it.

Again, the collection is nothing revolutionary or even new, I totally understand the general fatigue towards this, but to me it is true to the spirit of Calvin Klein and sets the right mood for the things to come.

Just saw somewhere it was styled by Jane How.
She does COS these days…
No wonder it all looked like it too
LOL

Veronica Leoni's debut collection for Calvin Klein lacked newness in design and excitement.

 

[Grets]

I hate this collection, but to say Raf is a master of minimalism is a joke

 

[TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

The men's casting is very weak. If they brought in proper men in their 40s and 50s—bulky men with thick bodies and strong shoulders—these clothes would instantly look better! Also, why choose Jane How, who is known for her Isabel Marant and CWK's Chloe boho sexy look? Why not Joe McKenna?

I'd definitely go for these men if I had the budget.

Late to the party, but there’s such a disconnect between her words and her work…I don’t know who is more delusional - her or our recently departed SDS.

It also seems like she has spent 0 time in New York/America or can’t even be bothered to try to understand the context (she is still based in Rome !?)…there is also a big disconnect between the collection and the people/energy/culture/lifestyle of the city it’s supposed to represent. The end result is therefore empty, generic, and disingenuous.

 

[brandon J pierre]

This was a great trench

 

[big]

why are they trying to make calvin klein collection a thing? it's hopeless.

sad to think that Giorgio Armani could go the same way...

 

[WhiteRabbit1991]

finaly something that does not look like trash, god bless this show.

 

[Xone]

She need to be forced to live in NYC, and get the city's energy....

This is an interpretation without compromise...like the impression when a tourist visit a new city....

She has two more collections to prove herself, hope she listens and make the right changes...otherwise Collection woman is going away....lol

This! Why so delusional? These designers have the biggest ego yet 0 f***** talent!

 

[reese06]

This collection is very stiff and unflattering. Devoid of sex, sensuality and life in general.

It’s giving she has wanted to design and create this collection for a long time already, so there’s no freshness.

Lots of words for something which will be forgotten in 10 days.

You could tie her to a post, in the middle of Fifth Avenue, for a week... and I am sure she would make more oversized crap for the next collection.

 

[Alquimista]

She's just giving a very dated workwear fashion for women. Girl, women in 2025 don't want to wear stiff grey suits at work, much less if theyre working from home. Totally delusional.

The dresses are hideous, complicated, precious. Just no.

The casuals are not strong or trendy.

So she can't do casual, work, evening. Coats are hideous. How does a person like that get to this position? Who is she sleeping with?

 

[j02215]

^ I agree. These are not clothes you’d wear to work, on days off, to dates, to parties, or to special occasions in 2025. They are not distinctive or well-made enough to signify taste, wealth, for self-expression, or even serve as a marketing exercise (likely the company’s goal). So What Are They For?

I swear she spends 99.9% of her existence styling and maintaining her own stupid hair… does she think she’s Anna or Karl?

Do Better.

10 days? That’s awfully generous of you.

Be nice 😂. By the way I'm not from New York I'm from Miami and I just was wondering do women in New York wear suits to work because I love a well tailored suit I'm a huge helmet Lang fan. And I have a fantasy that women are walking around in black and gray well-made suits but I don't think they actually are. I could be wrong though do they.

You think this person has sex or sex good enough to be offered this position after viewing this collection?

I’ve seen women in suits and business clothes but when they do fashion, it’s not this. You are more likely to see a woman going to work in that pink sweater and pants look in NYC which would probably be found at theory or something. They are already wearing this, done better in flattering silhouettes from brands with better cache and cuts and sometimes less expensive at a contemporary price point.
I think these suits would be awkward in an office tbh. Maybe a woman in the forum should chime in though.
