IN THE SPOTLIGHT: KHAITE

For pre-fall, Khaite designer Catherine Holstein tweaked some of her signature bestsellers and introduced novelty with a lineup comprising of ruffled Victorian blouses, dreamy shirtdress in ivory, form-fitting ruched dresses with gossamer sleeves, fluid trenches and streamlined clutches. All infused with a streak of Sixties rock glam, inspired by her childhood in London and the city’s high-wattage music scene. In just a few years, this New-York-based brand has gained a solid credibility based on a refined taste that reimagines classic American sportswear for the 21^st century. Blending minimalist sportswear with a contemporary edge, each piece balances past and future, masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure, and fluidity. All with a signature sensuality and ease.
