New York Fashion Week (NYFW) 2025 received mixed reviews, with critiques on its relevance in today's fashion landscape. Although commercial success remains, the excitement factor has waned, leading to a search for innovative designs and young talents who are gaining attention. Notably, Calvin Klein's relaunch under Veronica Leoni showcased a collection that favored minimalist designs reminiscent of the brand's 90s era. While some new designers potentially signal a fresh wave for NYFW, there's an underlying concern about whether the excitement for these talents is genuine or born from a need for any kind of novelty.
If you're seeking commercial hits with mass appeal, NYFW's got them. If you're jonesing for expertly crafted garments that thrill through high craft and inspired concepts, go straight to Paris.
A fresh groundswell of excitement is building around emerging and independent talents such as Christopher John Rogers and Luar's Raul Lopez.
Calvin Klein debuted the hotly anticipated relaunch of its runway collection… It seems that Calvin's new target audience comprises women who crave 'quiet luxury'.
One must wonder whether the fervor surrounding this new guard stems purely from an appreciation for their work, or also from a desperation to conjure excitement.
