They never feel made for virality’s sake since winning the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year Award in 2022 and again in 2023, Holstein has harnessed the hype, keeping wait lists fed with her creations. (And speaking of viral moments, even Adam Sandler, recently photographed with a massive shopping bag from the brand, is apparently not immune to her allure.) On Saturday, she had Taylor Russell, Natasha Lyonne, and Leon Bridges in her front row, and cover girl Vittoria Ceretti strutting her runway.

To a soundtrack of Guns N’ Roses and Wilco, Holstein unveiled a spring collection in a palette of black, white, red, and pale pink. The looks injected lightness and sweetness into the Khaite girl’s hard edge, with voluminous white and pink dresses, airy crocheted pieces, and even some ladylike ’50s top-handle bags. The effect was even, dare we say, very demure? Almost as if the chain-smoking tough girl in your senior class was revealed to be a secret sweetheart.

But never fear: the louche, tough touches she’s become known for were evident in slick trenches and sharp-edged blazers. Not to mention her signature nonchalantly sexy standouts, including a black dress designed to look as though a white bra was peeking out from its bodice. And for those simply looking for a more directional take on staples, the oversized leather jackets and totes should tick some boxes on your spring shopping list.
