Back To The Core. Khaite Resort 2027

Cate Holstein‘s Khaite works best when it isn’t burdened by the theatrics – or the demands – of a fashion show. The newly released resort 2027 lookbook presents the clothes with clarity, and relatability. It also suggests that Holstein is returning to the core of her brand, which wasn’t always quite so serious as we’ve got used to in the past seasons.

The collection’s fashion-statement rigidity has given way to chunky knits and denim – the pieces that formed Khaite’s foundation when the label launched a decade ago. Sometimes, nothing feels more appealing than an oversized sweater that looks as though it has been borrowed from your boyfriend’s closet, paired with an inherently cool black leather skirt and oversized sunglasses.

What Holstein does with flesh-revealing cutouts – particularly in bolero jackets and dresses – is especially worth noting. Khaite began as the kind of brand where effortlessly stylish it-girls, seemingly unaware of their own appeal, might shop. Some of that spirit was lost as the label evolved, but this collection suggests it has found its way back.
