Edge Over Minimalism: Eckhaus Latta Steals the NYFW Spotlight from Calvin Klein
Cathy Horyn argues Calvin Klein’s latest under Veronica Leoni is disciplined and minimal but lacks edge, especially next to Eckhaus Latta’s kinetic, sexy energy—slim silhouettes, crochet textures, and a J. Crew collaboration—that could define the New York spring shows. Michael Kors offers a solid but familiar set, while Maria McManus brings a Dublin-inspired romantic touch. Overall, Latta’s show is the season’s jolt of newness that Klein’s pared-down approach doesn’t quite match.
