Back in May, I got to live the Love Story dream when I headed to Calvin Klein’s sprawling, ultra-minimalist HQ in Manhattan’s Garment District to interview creative director Veronica Leoni for our September issue. I’ve long been an admirer of her thoughtful remixes of the house codes, and she was just as insightful in person. Leoni is one of five designers profiled in the new issue, and now you can read all about these talents—from Daniel del Valle, the Spanish newbie who went viral with his debut, to Sandy Liang, who has compiled her bow-bedecked career in fashion into a new book this month.
