KHAITE ACCESSORIES
Designer Catherine Holstein has a passion for the gritty soul of New York City. “It wasn’t ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ that made me want to move here,” she told WWD, “It was ‘Taxi Driver.’” Inspired by the glamorous grind of Manhattan, and taking notes from the fluid fashions of the roaring Twenties (which preceded the 1918 pandemic), she delivers a functional, statement lineup of covetable accessories—from made-for-walking, thigh-high boots to giant, traffic-stopping red bags begging to be filled to the brim and slung over the shoulder.
The buy: the neoprene boot—a new style that perfectly captures the season’s balance of grit and glamour. Find it in two heights (over-the-knee and ankle) and in striking red, pink, and black.
