Khaite Resort 2026 Collection
For Resort 2026, Catherine Holstein continues to refine the distinct DNA of Khaite, delivering a rich, urban, and emotional wardrobe that blends minimalist structure with a rebellious spirit. While her signatures—feminine versus masculine, tension between softness and strength, the balance of tailoring and ease—remained evident, this season expanded into playful explorations of joy, bohemian fluidity, and 1990s grunge references.
Holstein embraced a head-to-toe approach to textural contrast and expressive styling. Knee-high boots came in dramatic bicolor combinations, such as half pony-hair zebra and half black suede, styled with an oversized organic cotton shirtdress printed in one of the two exclusive new floral motifs of the season. The second motif appeared in sheer, pleated dresses and cropped blouses with hand-finished collars and cuffs, resulting in silhouettes that felt both romantic and raw—a precise blend of boho and grunge.
Statement knitwear remained a Khaite strength, seen in sculptural ribbed silk organza sweaters paired with matching merino skirts, creating monochromatic looks that were at once soft and sharp. Holstein elevated the everyday with tactile luxury, offering pony-hair trousers and a series of outerwear pieces that ranged from minimal leather jackets based on flat pattern construction to sculptural hourglass silhouettes, cropped wrap styles, and new iterations of leopard-print pony-hair coats for fall.
Accessories reinforced the collection’s mood with bright new colorways for the signature Lotus bag and clever heeled loafers featuring mini functional pockets at the toe. The result is a collection that delivers on aesthetic depth and practicality, always rooted in the evolving needs of the contemporary woman. Holstein continues to prove that utility and elegance need not be opposites—they can, in fact, enhance one another.
