Kate is a brand established in 2016 by creative director Catherine Holstein. The brand name Kate is derived from the Greek word meaning 'long flowing hair.' It implies a state of adventurous freedom. The brand presents women's clothing, accessories, and evening wear that balance opposing concepts such as masculinity and femininity, strength and softness, structure and fluidity, classic and modern.

Kolon FnC has set a strategy to add a women's luxury portfolio and strengthen its premium image through the official launch of Kate in the second half of this year. The Korean store at the Galleria Department Store Luxury Hall East Branch was inspired by the Kate flagship store located in SoHo, Manhattan, USA, reflecting an industrial feel and creative heritage. The space is decorated with a hand-crafted concrete finish, creating a sculpted atmosphere. American-style comfort and transformable details are incorporated throughout the interior. Here, customers can experience the captivating 2023 Fall/Winter (FW) collection featuring high-quality details and silhouettes.

A representative of Kate expressed expectations that "the opening of the Galleria Department Store store will present new trends and values to the Korean luxury fashion market."
