Khaite & Net-A-Porter Just Hosted The Most Exclusive Brand Trip To Italy
With a carefully curated celebrity guest list.
Just when it was finally starting to seem like an all-expenses-paid influencer trip might be a concept the average person would be able to wrap their head around, Khaite — the coolest fashion label currently on the radar — and leading luxury destination, Net-A-Porter, decided to up the ante in honor of their new capsule collection, with a weekend even more exclusive than anything you’ve probably seen before.
A carefully curated group of tastemakers, industry leaders, Net-A-Porter top clients, and global talent — including names like Olivia Wilde, Meghann Fahy, Alexa Chung, and Gemma Chan — were invited by the brands to Florence, Italy. Hosted by Catherine Holstein, founder and chief creative officer of Khaite, and Net-A-Porter CEO Heather Kaminetsky, the trip was filled with equal parts style, good company, and historic sightseeing.
Case in point: a fully planned itinerary, beginning with an after-hours tour of ‘Rothko a Firenze’, a retrospective at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, was the first stop on the list. At each destination, guests were outfitted in pieces from the collection — wearing different outfits that are now fully available to shop on Net-A-Porter. “Celebrating this launch in Florence — a city synonymous with craftsmanship, beauty, and culture — felt like a natural fit,” Kaminetsky shared in a press release.
Naturally, night one ended with bottles of red and white wine, homemade pasta, and traditional Tuscan dishes at family-run restaurant Cammillo Trattoria. The next day was filled with curated activities, including exploring the grounds of Villa San Michele, a bespoke gelato experience with Vivoli (the first gelateria in Florence, dating back to 1930), and a hike on Fiesole Hill — a location special to Leonardo da Vinci.
The final destination was a statement dinner in the sunken Roman Garden at Villa San Michele, a Belmond hotel. There, invitees stayed the weekend and took in sweeping views of the city.
