With a label name that takes its inspiration from the Greek word for "long, flowing hair," NY-based label Khaite fuses the modern and the sensual through artfully structured silhouettes. Founder Catherine Holstein reintroduces sharp pleating and feminine shapes to event-ready dresses, knitwear, bottoms and more, and we cannot get enough.
Founded in 2016, Khaite hatches evolutionary pieces with each season, adding to an archive of robust yet polished fashion that never skirts on sourced materials and craftsmanship. Ease and sensuality are touch points of the label, and the collections offer details that strike the tonal balance between subtle and measured.
With physical stores in New York, Southhampton and Korea, Australians need not to worry about getting access to their own piece. Underneath, we've put together a where-to for sourcing a little bit of Khaite to go around for all.
