A hauntingly cinematic show set in fog and water, Khaite's Spring/Summer 2026 collection explored the tension between naivety and darkness.

Think prairie-chic meets 1970s bohemia, with soft pastels, antique lace, and whimsical layering that felt like pressing pause on modernity and stepping into a soft-focus daydream.
