Khaite, femme fatal in a mission

Easily the best show of New York Fashion Week until now it has been Khaite, with a powerful and theatrical collection whose two Leit motifs were Dorothy and David.

Presented inside the Giant Uptown armory, the guests arrived to discover a large circular track with a radius of 25 meters. Yellow painted to suggest the yellow brick road, explained Khaite's designer Cate Holstein. Although the much greater inspiration was the late David Lynch, who led to a catwalk full of fatal femme on a mission.

Attached in a dark and dramatic closet for the urban jungle, Khaite's women are a hyperfonfect team this season. Marching in a collection whose appearance had a touch or a party or a hole; His very polished imperfections the heart of the matter.

The key element was the wrinkled leather jacket, as if the designer had pressed each look in his own hands.

Ohide calf leather jackets occurred in a multiplicity of modes and shapes: worker or donkey, motorcycle, bomber or flight. He even sculpted the leather blouse of a truck driver in an outstanding mini cocktail dress with a great visual hand game. If the classic “Wild At Heart” of Lynch is ever remake, this is the collection that the cast must use.

Each leather idea looked great. Each is a reminder that the most contemporary New York designer today is Cate Holstein. Nor is it left behind when it comes to contemporary draped with undulating cocktails in slate silk or lens lenses with leopard print.

And just when it seemed a bit commercial, Cate captivated several avant -garde robes in huge cable wool coils.

Backed by a soundtrack that combined “I put a spell in you” by Marilyn Manson and “Luna” by The Smashing Pumpkins, this was a successful program.

With the opening of new stores in Texas, California and Madison Avenue, this star show was a timely reminder whereby Khaite is the most popular American fashion label today.
