The Statement Coats & Main Characters at NYFW
Inside Calvin Klein's Fall 2025 presentation, creative director Veronica Leoni helped kick off the return to the brand's minimalist luxury roots. However, statement outwear outside the show matched the max aura personalities wearing them.
Calvin Klein's long-awaited return to New York Fashion Week naturally brought out major names — major looks, too. Law Roach and June Ambrose were there. Ambrose paired another one of her statement hats with a layered jacket, while Roach matched his formal pink coat with his Louis Vuitton Speedy handbag.
At the same time, Vogue's Anna Wintour bundled up in a bold red checkered print coat (and the bob is back as a supporting actor, of course).
Dara, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Pierce Abernathy, Derek Blasberg, and Eva Chen also joined the solid jacket lineup in classic wool layers and sheeny puffers, dressed appropriately for the weather and Calvin Klein's big day.
Calvin Klein Fall 2025 marked not only Leoni's first presentation as creative director but also the brand's first time returning to New York Fashion Week since 2018 (when Raf Simons was still at the helm of the CK ship).
Oh, and the latest presentation was also the hard (re)launch of the Calvin Klein Collection, which hit pause on its operations in 2019.
Again, it was really a homecoming for the Calvin Klein. Like the anticipated school event packed out with alums and friends, an incredibly stylish guest list — Bad Bunny, FKA Twigs, and Kate Moss, to name a few — was expected for Calvin Klein's big comeback.
And it was undoubtedly BYOFC: bring your own fab coat.
