Khaite is having a moment that's been a decade in the making. Designer Cate Holstein is approaching two landmark milestones simultaneously: the brand's 10th anniversary and a projected $500 million in sales — a number she once pitched to investors as aspirational and is now watching materialize in real time. "I sold a lofty brand to my investors when I was doing the pitch, but when you actually start getting there, I'm kind of blown over by it," she said, according to Vogue.
The formula hasn't changed, and that's exactly the point. Since Holstein first described Khaite as "a fresh take on American sportswear" back in 2017, the brand has built its identity on a very specific tension: structured leather or faux fur outerwear against something sheer and barely-there underneath. Chunky knits, great jeans, and status jackets remain the core. What's new for Resort 2027 is how deliberately she's playing with time — the collection weaves together the 1970s, '90s, and 1920s into something that feels less like a history lesson and more like a very good wardrobe.
The Details That Will Sell Out
The pieces earning the most attention are the ones that feel personal. Lace-edged lingerie half slips embroidered with Holstein's initials sit low on the hips in full '90s fashion — a styling note that runs through the entire collection. Bottoms range from voluminous petal skirts in rich cloqé fabric to narrow velvet skirts with pleated godet insets that flare just enough at the hem. Among the outerwear, Holstein singles out a nipped-waist, basque-hem equestrian jacket as a personal favorite — the kind of sharp, considered piece Khaite does better than almost anyone right now.
Footwear has grown into its own empire at Khaite HQ, now filling an entire room. Holstein designed pumps with graphic cutaway vamps — "almost like Anne Klein '80s New York," she said — and updated the brand's best-selling Nevada boot with a platform. It's the kind of quiet evolution that keeps a loyal customer coming back while giving a new one a reason to start.
Ten years in, Khaite isn't chasing relevance — it's consolidating it, one slip dress and perfectly cut jacket at a time.
