Since its launch in 2016, Khaite has discovered a loyal, even cultish, following among the many polished and poised: first for its luxurious denim and knits, and, extra lately, its catwalk collections, which have proposed tiaras and tulle. So when opener Bella Hadid emerged onto autumn/winter 2020’s hazily-lit runway – an “escape into New York night time,†because the present notes put it – clutching the road’s signature leather-based envelope with a chipped black manicure, you could possibly virtually hear the collective consumption of breath.

In different phrases, that is one New York Vogue Week look that’s ready-made for revelry.
