Recognising a piece is by KHAITE is less about cut and more about a feeling. Cate Holstein, the label’s founder, doesn’t have signatures she returns to season after season but a collection of soft and lustrous yarns. Take the Leana midi dress, it’s knitted to a silhouette that hugs your frame. Topped with a sweetheart neckline and cut with half-length sleeves, it’s calling for a coupe of champagne and something else sparkling too – maybe a pair of drop earrings?
