It\u2019s easy to forget that Khaite<\/a>\u2019s sought-after ribbed bustier<\/a> with the sweetheart neckline, or its famous cashmere cardigan-and-bra combo worn by Katie Holmes<\/a> along the streets of Manhattan a few years back, doesn\u2019t belong to a house founded in\u2014I don\u2019t know\u20142003? What designer Catherine Holstein has achieved in just a few short years\u2014eight, to be accurate\u2014is nothing short of remarkable, having created a label which has attracted infinite sartorial street style moments and thus steeped the young house in a nostalgia that feels so warm, so familiar and well beyond its years.<\/p>\n After winning the American Womenswear Designer of the Year award at the CFDA Fashion Awards two years in a row\u2014and opening a must-visit, cement-trowelled flagship boutique in SoHo, New York<\/a> just last year\u2014all eyes were on Holstein this Fall\/Winter season: What would she do next?<\/p>\n The answer laid somewhere between packing show attendees into an enormous black box at Chelsea Piers and taking her modern minimalism approach to mob wife aesthetic<\/a> heights: think leather, fur and satin along a dimly-lit runway, save for a rogue spotlight here and there.<\/p>\n \u201c[This season, I] explored the dilapidation of a fallen drape quite literally, sculpting it on the body and letting the shape fall away,\u201d Holstein says of her FW24 collection titled The Unfolding<\/em>. \u201cIt’s quite cathartic to allow things to release, to fall, and to stay in it. I found myself seduced by this notion as a practice.\u201d<\/p>\n
