Khaite Fall 2025 – Cinematic, Sumptuous, and Unapologetically Chic
Catherine Holstein has mastered the art of making women feel powerful, sensual, and effortlessly cool—without ever trying too hard. For Fall 2025, she leaned into the question: What if David Lynch remade a Merchant Ivory film? A collision of edge and romance, rawness and refinement.
The Park Avenue Armory set the stage for a collection that felt opulent yet grounded, with a golden circular runway (a nod to The Wizard of Oz, Lynch’s favorite film). The looks were a study in contrasts: undone corsetry paired with slouchy dark-rinse denim, oversized leather jackets softened by fur-trimmed collars, and voluminous outerwear that could carry you from the school run to a black-tie affair with ease.
Why Khaite Reigns Supreme
For us, Khaite is the pinnacle of New York Fashion Week. Season after season, Catherine Holstein delivers collections that feel distinctly American—strong, pragmatic, and luxurious. But there’s an undeniable grandeur to her vision, a cinematic quality that goes beyond the typical NYFW lineup. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see her make the move to show in Paris in the near future—Khaite has already cemented itself as a global force.
There are very few brands that can bridge the gap between carpool drop-off and a sexy date night so seamlessly. Khaite pieces work in unlimited ways—whether it’s a deconstructed corset layered over denim for a casual edge, or an oversized leather jacket thrown over a gown for an unexpected mix. Their denim is unmatched (there’s a reason the Danielle is always sold out), and Holstein has an innate command of feminine shapes. She understands how women want to feel when they get dressed—powerful, effortless, and just the right amount of undone.
Khaite is also the brand we sell the most of, and for good reason. Holstein has perfected the balance between structure and fluidity, offering pieces that flatter the body while hitting those super-chic androgynous notes. It’s rare to find a collection where everything feels both bold and wearable, but that’s the magic of Khaite—it understands how women want to dress in their real lives and delivers pieces that work across multiple occasions.
Key Themes:
Sumptuous Textures: Plush furs, buttery leathers, and distressed silk corsets brought depth to the collection.
An Effortless Edge: Khaite’s DNA is rooted in cool-girl minimalism, and this season was no exception. The leather outerwear, sheer tights, and structured trousers felt lived-in yet undeniably luxurious.
Wearability Meets Drama: The brilliance of Khaite is that you can just as easily wear these pieces to pick up your kids from carpool as you can to a dinner at The Grill. Holstein understands how women really dress—and gives them options that work for multiple facets of life.
Our Favorite Looks:
1. The Long Black Fur Coat (Look 25) – The ultimate power move. Paired with sleek tailoring underneath, it’s a statement that commands attention.
2. The Oversized Leather Jacket (Look 21) – Voluminous yet structured, this piece has It-Girl written all over it.
3. The Draped Neutral Cape (Look 51) – Proof that simplicity can be striking. Elegant, versatile, and utterly timeless.
4. The Textured Corset & Patent Leather Skirt (Look 48) – A perfect juxtaposition of delicate and tough, romantic and rebellious.
And, of course, we’re still dreaming about that green bag and white fur coat combo. It’s the kind of unexpected pairing that makes fashion feel magical.
Holstein continues to prove that Khaite isn’t just about beautiful clothes—it’s about a lifestyle. A woman who is effortless but exacting, feminine but never fussy. This collection cements Khaite as one of the most influential brands defining how modern women want to dress. And if she does take this show to Paris? It will only solidify what we already know—Khaite is luxury, redefined.
