"NO DOUBT THE NEXT CHAPTER IN MY BOOK OF TRANSFORMATIONS IS ALREADY WRITTEN. I AM NOT DONE WITH MY CHANGES."
- Stanley Kunitz, "The Layers"

Debuting within the intimate spaces of the first KHAITE store, Fall/Winter 2023 explores the transformative power, mirroring the evolution of KHAITE and the seasoned woman it now presents. Power is owned rather than declared, wielded with ease.

The new flagship spans the ground and subterranean floors of the historic cast-iron building at 165 Mercer Street. Its design is rooted in the industrial and creative legacy of SoHo, where a generation of artists forged their identities in light-filled lofts with found materials. Architect Griffin Frazen traced KHAITE to its own origins in SoHo and materiality, shaping spaces into volumes defined by steel, concrete, and glass while favoring subtraction over addition, patina over polish. Elemental qualities highlight the dynamic nature of the environment, which is constantly recalibrated by natural light and bodies in motion.
