Khaite kicked off with a bang: a perfectly mussed Kaia Gerber in a high-waisted leather skirt and bra top stomping out to the steady strum of PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me. Ok, you have our attention! What followed was a parade of looks inspired by designer Catherine Holstein’s recent trip to Venice. Many of these boudoir-ish looks would fare well at a palazzo party – the slinky silk dresses that looked like chic nightgowns and a sheer floral number that benefited from Guido Palau’s messy bouffant. The ensembles that worked the best were the ones that weren’t trying to do too much. Also, all hail the black leather jackets – a Khaite signature. I’m sure the celebs in attendance – Alexa Chung, Iris Law and Riley Keough among them – would tend to agree.
