Antonia Celebrates Khaite and Applied Art Forms During Milan Fashion Week

CELEBRATING AT ANTONIA: The Milan Fashion Week calendar marked two events taking place at luxury retailer Antonia thisi season.

The multibrand store celebrated the collections of the New York-based brand Khaite and of Applied Art Forms, designed by Guy Berryman, Coldplay’s bass player.

Khaite unveiled its spring 2025 collection with an in-store cocktail and a special display running through Thursday. The event was followed by a dinner with the brand’s founder and designer Cate Holstein at the 10_11 restaurant inside the Portrait hotel.

The temporary corner at Antonia of Applied Art Forms, based in Amsterdam, will be on display until Thursday. It offers the brand’s two lines: the Atelier Collection and the AAF Collection.

The former “draws inspiration from vintage sartorial garments and antique Dutch workwear styles,” Berryman said. It’s made in Japan, Italy and Portugal, and features leather jackets, refined shirts, oversize cardigans and canvas worker pants. Key styles include the Dutch worker jacket, made from heavy cotton canvas and featuring a double-breasted closure with horn buttons. Berryman said this was inspired by a Dutch jacket worn in local fishing communities in the late 19th century, one of which he owns since he is a collector of vintage garments.

The AAF Collection combines workwear influences with an aesthetic drawn from Japanese street culture. Key styles include the mountain parka, which is inspired by mid-20th century mountaineering jackets with the addition of a modern silhouette.
