April, 2021 – This month, NET-A-PORTER will launch exclusive capsule collections from Khaite and Porte & Paire x Frankie Shop, and is excited to welcome new cult brands, Kenneth Ize and Sindiso Khumalo, a women’s Ready-to-Wear brand with African storytelling and female empowerment at its core.
KHAITE
Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER – Launching 9th April
The High Summer 2021 capsule created exclusively for NET-A-PORTER accentuates the sense of ease that is at the heart of KHAITE - and of summer itself. Grounded in optic whites, the collection’s palette is warmed by creamy hues of ivory, ecru, and sand, putting the focus on the rich textures and relaxed yet refined silhouettes that are a KHAITE signature.
“For me, summer has always represented a sense of possibility. Looking to this summer, the possibilities feel boundless, as hope turns to optimism, anticipation, and desire. We channeled these notions of freedom and spontaneity into our exclusive High Summer collection for NET-A-PORTER. The idea of ease is central to KHAITE. It’s a quality not only of how our pieces look and feel but also how they work within a woman’s wardrobe - opening up new possibilities. Each piece is designed to be cherished. NET-A-PORTER understood this from day one, becoming one of our first retail partners and bringing a global perspective to our foundation of reimagining American sportswear.” – KHAITE’s Creative Director, Catherine Holstein
“The exclusive cross-category collection truly encapsulates Khaite’s signature style and some of her iconic styles. The pieces take on a relaxed approach and the soft warm tones and exciting textures will be the perfect addition to our summer wardrobes.” – NET-A-PORTER’s Senior Market Editor, Libby Page
SINDISO KHUMALO
Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER – Launching 26th April
Sindiso Khumalo is a sustainable textile designer based in Cape Town. Central St Martins graduate, Khumalo, studied architecture at the University of Cape Town prior to moving to London, where she went onto study a Master’s in Design for Textile Futures. Sindiso Khumalo founded her eponymous label with a focus on creating modern sustainable textiles with a strong emphasis on African storytelling. She designs the textiles in her collections by hand through watercolours and collage. Over the years she has developed a uniquely colourful visual voice, which draws upon her Zulu and Ndebele heritage, and also speaks to the land of Kwazulu Natal, where she is from. Sustainability, craft and empowerment lie at the heart of the label.
“We are thrilled to be introducing Sindiso Khumalo to the Vanguard program, supporting the brand’s development through insightful mentorship from each area of the business. Khumalo’s sustainable, unique and light fabrications as well as beautiful storytelling prints are sure to resonate with the NET-A-PORTER customer.” – NET-A-PORTER’s Senior Market Editor, Libby Page
KENNETH IZE
Launching this month
Making his debut at Paris Fashion week in February for FW20, Kenneth Ize has been garnering well deserved attention for his colorful, handwoven collection which is dedicated to preserving the heritage of Nigeria through textiles. The Austrian-Nigerian designer and 2019 LVMH prize finalist has a strong focus on craftmanship with everything being produced locally, supporting a small community of weavers and working directly with a variety of artisan and design groups across Nigeria. The brand focus is on reinterpreting examples of Nigerian craft to create an original perspective on luxury production within textile and fashion.
“We are so excited to launch Kenneth Ize on NET-A-PORTER, the collection really speaks to the theme of joyful dressing. We love his artisan techniques and colorful, diverse approach to fashion. I’m sure we will all be lusting after his pieces for the upcoming season.”– NET-A-PORTER’s Senior Market Editor, Libby Page
