LE SSERAFIM Kazuha’s All-Black Khaite Airport Look for NYFW 26 F/W
LE SSERAFIM’s Kazuha was spotted at Incheon International Airport heading to New York for the Khaite 26 F/W show at New York Fashion Week, and honestly? She absolutely nailed the departure look. We’re talking a full head-to-toe Khaite outfit that screamed quiet luxury with a serious edge.
The vibe was all-black leather everything — a chic, effortlessly cool combination of cashmere, lambskin, and plonge leather that felt both relaxed and incredibly polished. Let’s break down this look, because every single piece deserves a moment.
Kazuha paired a soft cashmere pullover with a leather mini skirt, then casually draped a structured plonge leather bomber jacket over her shoulders — you know, the way only K-pop idols and fashion editors can pull off without it sliding right off. The layering was effortless yet so intentional.
To complete the look, she added square-toe ankle boots, a velvety suede Mini Lotus tote bag, and the most gorgeous scarf-inspired hoop earrings that tied the whole outfit together. Every accessory was perfectly coordinated without feeling overdone. That’s the Khaite effect — the balance between strength and softness, masculine and feminine.
If you’re not familiar with Khaite yet, here’s the quick rundown: founded by Catherine Holstein, it’s an American luxury brand that officially launched in South Korea in 2023 and has been blowing up ever since. The brand is all about finding that sweet spot between opposing ideas — structure and fluidity, toughness and tenderness. Korean celebrities have been spotted wearing it constantly in their off-duty looks, and it’s easy to see why.
Now, let’s take a closer look at each piece Kazuha wore.
The Base: Khaite Davin Sweater + Jett Skirt
The foundation of this look is deceptively simple but incredibly luxurious. The Khaite Davin Sweater is made from high-density cashmere that’s both voluminous and firm with a beautifully soft hand feel. It features elbow-length sleeves and dimensional ribbing at the crew neck, cuffs, and hem — the kind of piece that looks amazing even on its own.
Paired with it is the Khaite Jett Skirt, a sleek leather mini made from supple, glossy Italian lambskin. The minimal design keeps things clean and classic — no unnecessary details, just beautiful leather doing what it does best.
Khaite Davin Sweater — $1,700 USD (₩2,210,000 KRW)
Khaite Jett Skirt — $2,285 USD (₩2,970,000 KRW)
The Statement Piece: Khaite Owey Jacket
This is where the outfit goes from “great” to “absolutely iconic.” The Khaite Owey Jacket is the kind of leather jacket that makes you understand why people say Khaite is the leather brand. Crafted from incredibly soft and lightweight plonge leather, it has a rounded, relaxed blouson silhouette that’s effortlessly cool.
The details are what set it apart: drop shoulders, a banded shirred hem, an elongated collar, and epaulette detailing. It also features Khaite’s signature hardware on a two-way zipper and a silky cupro twill lining. It’s a statement piece that somehow feels easy to wear.
Khaite Owey Jacket — $9,862 USD (₩12,820,000 KRW)
The Finishing Touches: Boots, Bag, and Earrings
They say shoes and bags make or break an outfit, and Kazuha clearly got the memo. The Khaite Ona Ankle Boot features a distinctive notched back design that makes them easy to slip on and off (practical for airport security, right?). The slim blade heel and tonal outsole have a leg-lengthening effect that’s hard to beat.
The Khaite Mini Lotus Tote Bag in suede is a work of art — inspired by the flowing curves of a scarf, it has this gorgeous sculptural shape with a round base and a jewel-like toggle closure inside. The velvet-soft suede finish makes it look elegant even when you’re just carrying it through an airport terminal.
Khaite Ona Ankle Boot — $1,708 USD (₩2,220,000 KRW)
Khaite Mini Lotus Tote Bag — $3,185 USD (₩4,140,000 KRW)
And the final finishing touch? The Khaite Medium Lotus Earrings, which are inspired by the same scarf motif as the Lotus tote bag. Unlike typical molded jewelry, these are made through a precision milling and laminate process, making them surprisingly lightweight. The polished palladium plating gives off a subtle, luminous glow that brightened up Kazuha’s face beautifully.
Khaite Medium Lotus Earrings — $1,185 USD (₩1,540,000 KRW)
Kazuha attended the Khaite 26 F/W collection show on February 14th at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. If you fell in love with Kazuha’s airport look and want to explore more from the brand, check out Khaite or visit their official website at khaite.com.
