The KHAITE Spring/Summer 2026 collection, designed by Catherine Holstein, debuted on September 13 at the McCourt at The Shed in New York. True to the brand’s refined yet rebellious spirit, the runway balanced structure and sensuality with looks that moved fluidly between sharp tailoring and diaphanous layers. Notable silhouettes included elongated blazers, fluid slip dresses, and sculptural leather pieces, each underscored by KHAITE’s precise attention to proportion. Materials ranged from airy silks and gauzy knits to glossy patent leather and supple suede, creating a tactile interplay of softness and edge. The palette shifted between muted neutrals, midnight blacks, and punctuations of crimson and metallic sheen, reflecting a moody, cinematic energy. Set to a soundtrack that spanned Blur to Chopin, the show unfolded as both contemporary and timeless, anchoring KHAITE’s position as a brand attuned to evolving trends while rooted in enduring elegance.
