What captivates most about Leoni’s vision is this very concept of “sexitude” — her brilliant term for an attitude-driven approach to sensuality. It’s not about obvious allure, but rather about being completely comfortable in one’s own skin. This philosophy deeply mirrors what we strive for at Héloïse — creating pieces that enhance a woman’s natural presence rather than overshadowing it.

When Leoni described her archival discoveries as “Sleeping Beauties waiting for a kiss,” the parallel to jewelry design became crystal clear. Like her reinterpretation of Calvin Klein’s heritage, our work at Héloïse involves taking classical elements and breathing new life into them. A chain link reimagined, a pearl reset in an unexpected way — these subtle innovations carry forward tradition while speaking to contemporary lives.

The collection’s sophisticated restraint resonates particularly strongly with our design philosophy. Those perfectly proportioned pieces moving down the runway — from sharply tailored suits to flowing trenches buttoned to the top – create natural canvases for thoughtful jewelry. A single architectural earring catching the light against a crisp collar, a layered necklace disappearing and reappearing beneath a cashmere sweater.

The global perspective Leoni brings to this quintessentially American brand proves especially fascinating. Her Roman background, shaped by work with houses like Phoebe Philo and The Row, informs a unique vision that bridges European craftsmanship with American functionality — a balance we constantly strive for in our own studio.

This collection speaks volumes about modern power dressing. It’s not about commanding attention through obvious statements, but rather through thoughtful restraint. This is precisely why we design pieces that reveal their complexity gradually — a matte finish that catches light in unexpected ways, a closure that becomes a subtle design element, a chain that moves like fabric.

In our studio, this moment inspires designs that embrace the spirit of intentional minimalism. Pieces that work as naturally with a sharply tailored suit as they do with an oversized knit. Jewelry that doesn’t just accessorize an outfit but becomes an integral part of expressing one’s professional presence.

The return of Calvin Klein under Leoni’s vision marks more than just a fashion moment — it signals a broader shift in how we think about power, presence, and professional style. As we continue our own journey at Héloïse, we’re excited to be part of this conversation, creating pieces that help women write their own stories of success.
