Our Key Takeaways From New York Fashion Week

This past week, New York Fashion Week took over the Big Apple. There was no shortage of noteworthy events, as newcomers emerged on the scene and classic brands were seen again for the first time in a while. See below for our key takeaways.

The Calvin Klein Return

The legendary New York-based brand, which has been on a break from the runway since 2018, made a highly anticipated return to NYFW this year. Under the direction of newly appointed creative director Veronica Leoni, the collection stayed largely faithful to the brand’s roots.

It was clear that Leoni was pulling from the minimalistic aesthetic that they have always been known for. While the brand's comeback was praised for its nostalgic nod to its heritage, opinions were split on whether the collection truly lived up to the lofty expectations.

Khaite Shines

Surprising absolutely nobody, Khaite's collection was met with unanimous praise. The brand's signature sleek, modern aesthetic—already so quintessentially New York—was elevated even further on the runway.

Khaite continues to exude quiet luxury, with a playful twist. This collection showcased plenty of leather and bold pops of leopard print, striking the perfect balance between sophistication and fun.

Christopher John Rogers’s Bold Comeback

No one does bold quite like Christopher John Rogers, and this week’s show was a stunning reminder of his mastery. Marking his highly anticipated return to NYFW for the first time in 5 years, Rogers reemerged in spectacular fashion.

The brand stayed true to their signature vibrant energy, with bright colors and stripes. Perhaps the collection’s most noteworthy takeaway was that the looks seemed to balance unique artistry with true wearability — which is no small feat. Understandably, the show was met with resounding praise.
