Cara Pleated Stepped-Hem Satin Dress

A standout piece from Khaite’s AW19 collection entitled ‘The New Frontier’, this green satin Cara dress nods to the label’s turn-of-the-century inspiration. It’s crafted with a deeply notched round neck, shirred mutton sleeves with flounced cuffs and a pleated stepped-hem skirt that descends from a selvedge-edge inverted-Basque peplum. Keep it in focus with barely there accessories.

Pronounced ‘Kate’, New York-based Khaite’s ready-to-wear collections are characterised by the kind of contradictions that epitomise the city it hails from. Everyday pieces are realised in exquisite materials; classic luxury elements reworked with a modern twist. Running through them all is a simplicity and a sensuality that makes them unquestionably covetable.
