NYFW 2024 / Khaite Spring 2025
Catherine Holstein’s Spring 2025 collection had me smitten with an understated chicness that has always been prominent to the brand, but was especially carried out throughout this presentation. I can only imagine what the energy is like at one of her shows. I’ve always appreciated the intentionality behind their runways. This season, I found the layout and separation of the runway intriguing for their Spring ’25 showcase — it still had an element of Khaite edge but it was at the same time airy — like a visual representation of how intimate balance can truly be. I enjoyed its mystic simplicity.
