Fashion career profile
Veronica Leoni
Veronica Leoni is an Italian fashion designer and Creative Director of Calvin Klein Collection. She founded the label QUIRA and was a finalist for the 2023 LVMH Prize before Calvin Klein appointed her in May 2024. The company defines Collection as the runway expression of the house, with men’s and women’s apparel, underwear and accessories; this is a defined collection remit within Calvin Klein, not a claim that Leoni leads every Calvin Klein business line. Her first runway collection was for Fall 2025. PVH’s February 2026 report on the Fall 2026 show confirms that she continued to lead the collection after its return to the runway. The appointment announcement identifies earlier work at Jil Sander, Céline, Moncler and The Row, but does not publish job titles or dates for each position, so these are described as career experience rather than promoted into unverified director appointments. Education remains unfilled because the reviewed primary source does not establish it.
