“Stories have tangents; they open up and become different things. You can still have a structure, but you should leave room to dream.”
-David Lynch
What if David Lynch remade a Merchant Ivory film? Fall/Winter 2025 explores the sartorial possibilities in a collection of integration and expansion—deep focus within a larger frame. Enduring influences arereimagined, emerging in alluring new combinations. KHAITE signatures are advanced through touch: heightened tactility, thoughtful manipulation of material, and the juxtaposition of raw and refined. As reality fuses with escape, history comes full circle.
The collection debuted at New York’s Park Avenue Armory atop a monumental ring of gold: an elevated, ochre-hued round runway inspired by The Wizard of Oz (a Lynchian obsession) and designed by the architect Griffin Frazen.
A palette of New York neutrals is enriched by leopard-spotted haircalf, chocolate and toffee browns, flashes of red, and the deep indigo of classic denim traced by marigold topstitching.
