ETHEREALITY The quality or state of being ethereal (characterized by unusual delicacy and refinement):

Catherine Holstein of Khaite describes her design philosophy as driven by "a fresh balance of opposing elements—past and future, masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity." This dress from her resort 2020 collection conveys both austerity and excess in the white cotton fabric and airy, puff sleeves. Holstein is attentive to the moods of her wearers and designs garments that embody their complex emotions.
