Product Insights & Style Tips

The Khaite Clio Ballerina with Studs brings a quiet, city-smart glow to the everyday. A classic ballet flat silhouette is sharpened by studded hardware, a subtle wink that catches light as you move. The result is effortless polish with an edge, a piece that feels grown-up and modern all at once.

Slip-on ease meets a timeless line, with studs lending texture to denim, dressier skirts, or cropped pants. The vamp keeps the look clean while the silhouette sits close to the foot, letting you transition from morning errands to evening plans without missing a beat. Its understated glamour is versatile enough to layer with coats and knits as the seasons shift.

With Khaite's signature lean, refined mood, the Clio Ballerina with Studs leans into elevated minimalism where a hint of hardware does the talking. A luxe payoff for the wardrobe staples you reach for again and again; priced at 990.00.

Style Check

Aesthetics: 9/10

Bold yet refined, the Clio Ballerina commands attention through a whisper of hardware. The smooth leather, precise stitching, and row of studs create a sculptural edge without shouting. Its silhouette remains timeless, while the shine and texture inject editorial mood, making it a versatile focal point for upscale street and party looks.

Craftsmanship: 8/10

Premium construction reads in flawless edges and secure hardware. The leather appears supple with a controlled drape, while the studs sit flush and evenly spaced. Clean lining and a neat sole finish elevate the feel beyond fashion-forward flash, signaling Khaite’s commitment to durable luxury rather than fleeting trends.

Affordability: $$$

The value aligns with its design and prestige, acknowledging the brand’s luxury credentials. The cost reflects the sculpted studs, premium leather, and editorial aura, rather than mass market basics. While steep for a ballet flat, the distinctive detailing and refined finish justify a premium purchase for a selective wardrobe.

The Khaite Moodboard

Khaite Spring 2027 Softens Up With Lingerie Dressing and Hand Embroidery

Khaite Spring 2027 has romance on the brain. Catherine Holstein opened with Kaia Gerber in a white bra and ultra-fitted leather skirt, its split back revealing handmade corsetry underneath. From there came exposed bras, slips, nightie-like dresses and minidresses slipping off the shoulders, pulling from lingerie shapes spanning the 1920s through the ’40s. Even the undone bedhead pushed the runway further away from anything too polished.

Khaite Resort 2027 Gives American Sportswear a Khaite Edge

Khaite Resort 2027 brings Catherine Holstein back to the pieces that built the New York label, leather outerwear, lace slips, cashmere knits, Lotus bags, and boots with real presence. As Khaite reaches its 10 year milestone, the season feels less like a reset and more like a clean pull from the brand’s own wardrobe vocabulary. The clothes are direct, tactile, and very clear about what the Khaite woman wants to wear now.

Khaite Fall 2026 Brings Cinematic Runway Drama

Khaite presented its Fall 2026 runway collection at New York Fashion Week inside the Park Avenue Armory. A massive curved LED wall stretched across the venue and projected the words “Now you are here. Here you are now” as guests entered the room. The installation rose nearly sixty feet high and formed the visual backdrop for Catherine Holstein’s latest show. Designed with architectural designer Griffin Frazen, the set created a reflective atmosphere before the first model stepped onto the runway. The show continued Holstein’s vision of the Khaite woman through precise tailoring, dramatic eveningwear, and details that shifted the mood of familiar silhouettes. Lace, velvet, and sharp outerwear appeared throughout the lineup, creating contrast between romantic dressing and structured pieces. The show builds on the direction Holstein established in previous seasons, which you can see across earlier Khaite runway coverage on The Cool Hour.
