With a strong feminine perspective and masculine silhouettes, this is how Khaite keeps the balance going in her designs. This balance won celebrities’ attention; Katie Homes, Kaia Gerber, Selena Gomez and many more, who enjoyed stealing the show with Khaite’s chic yet comfy pieces.
Who’s Behind Khaite?
The American brand Khaite (which is pronounced Cate, like Holstein's abbreviated first name, and which means “long, flowing hair” in Greek) was founded in 2016 by designer Catherine Holstein who “doesn’t design basics but cherished objects”, she said to Vogue after her Spring/Summer 2020 show. Also, The New York Times described Khaite as the “Low-Key label to know and one of the most interesting brands the paper has discovered”.
With the feminine touch, Holstein succeeded to grab A-list celebrities’ attentions, as the label appeared first on Katie Holmes who went viral in her Khaite Cashmere Cardigan and bra.
The Brand’s DNA
According to fashion critics, Phoebe Philo, Celine former designer, and Catherine Holstein are from the same school; they both design clothes that are not so much for women, but about women. Thus, Khaite came at the right moment, just before Philo quitted Celine, when the world needed a luxury brand to take over our everyday staples.
Khaite was also able to sell its collections online on Harvey Nichols, and other retailers. In addition, Khaite made its runway collection available online to shop after the show was done.
Celebrities in Khaite
Catherine’s designs did not only invade Katie Holmes’ closet, but they were seen on other celebs and influencers. Jennifer Lawrence was spotted with the Aimee suede clutch several times, as well as Pernille Teisbaek and Katie Holmes opted for a high-waisted distressed jeans, from Khaite, which we couldn’t keep our eyes off!
Also, Kaia Gerber did not miss the chance to wear a full outfit signed by Khaite.

As Katie Holmes unleashed the spontaneous feminine vibe, while trying to get a cab, in her cashmere bra and cardigan, so did Selena Gomez with her cashmere sweater. The high-waist denim pants is a not-to-miss piece from khaite, which Pernille Teisbaek looked effortlessly chic in it.
Khaite is well known for cashmere cardigans and bras; cashmere polo, cashmere sweaters, sweetheart neckline tops, rigid denim, and tulle evening wear.
