Cotton is a natural fibre valued for its breathability, softness and durability. Comfortable across a wide range of climates, it is one of the most widely used fibres in clothing and can be woven into fabrics ranging from crisp poplin to soft jersey.

Crepe describes a family of fabrics characterised by a subtly grainy, pebbled or crinkled surface and a generally fluid drape. It can vary considerably in weight, opacity and composition.

Founded in New York in 2016 by creative director Catherine Holstein, KHAITE is known for polished womenswear that combines traditionally masculine and feminine elements. The brand places particular emphasis on exceptional materials, craftsmanship and subtle but distinctive details, balancing structured pieces with softer, more sensual silhouettes.
