KHAITE by Sean Baker

New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But there is one thing about it: once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough. -John Steinbeck KHAITE is inextricably linked to New York. Fall/Winter 2021 celebrates this enduring and ever-evolving relationship at a pivotal moment for the city. The collection comes to life in “KHAITE,” directed and edited by Sean Baker. Shot on the streets of New York and within its subterranean corridors, the film collapses past and present to evoke a city defined by extremes—perilous yet alluring, raw yet resilient.
