Khaite Resort 2022

Following her fabulous fall collection film fest, Catherine Holstein looked to New York cinema once again for inspiration for resort. Her latest gritty glam collection spans references, including a young Angelina Jolie and Jane Campion’s boundary-pushing 2003 erotic thriller “In the Cut” starring Meg Ryan.

The look: Early 2000s edge meets everyday ease.

Quote of note: “What began as a fantasy of simplification — the indulgence of shedding obligations to achieve a kind of freedom — led us to the edges of ease,” said Holstein. “The result is a collection that lives in layers and textures. Even amidst the decisive lines lives a sense of unraveling, a romance that invites you to make each piece your own.”

Key pieces: Olive green featherweight puffer with diamond quilting and fur collar; Vionnet-like pleated and draped jersey dresses of various shapes and weights; long skirts and wide-legged pants with shrunken cashmere sweaters or leather bomber jackets; elegant cutout and knotted T-shirts; pillowy patent leather totes; gummy rubber sole boots; elongated pumps, woven babouche slippers, and Khaite’s first sneakers, with platform soles.

Takeaway: Holstein is one of New York’s best at creating a mood, and with the introduction of a dedicated line of T-shirts, an expanded footwear range and her first sneakers in this collection, she’s upping her merchandising game to match.
