The Ripple Skirt in deadstock White Cotton Seersucker is KATALYST’s breezy yet elegant offering for the upcoming summer months, a garment that can take you from the picnic to the wine bar.
Holding versatility and comfort in equal measure, this hyper-adjustable garment can be worn both as a skirt or as a top.
It features panels that wrap around the body in an A-line shape, a design decision informed by the legs piece from Parallel Frames, the absurd sculpture series that Kate developed to drape and design the collection on.
Undulating rows of shirring at the hip allow for a comfortable fit, with lemon yellow adjustable ties in 100% Cotton Chartreuse providing further versatility and flair.
The skirt features darts that taper in at one side, creating an asymmetric silhouette, and its curved panel line is accented with bias binding to help frame the shape of the garment.
Whether worn as a top or a skirt, the Ripple Skirt pairs nicely with the Undercurrent Pants in Cocoa Tencel layered underneath.
Also available in Grass Cotton.
Made from deadstock fabric in Magandjin (Brisbane)
Available for preorder now - ships November 6th 2026.
Parallel Frames brings together two key pillars of KATALYST —conceptual sculpture and ready-
to-wear garments — positioning them in conversation and allowing each practice to inform the other. Our RS27 collection, Parallel Frames is a result of this dialogue.
Parallel Frames distorts the traditional mannequin silhouette to explore how the use of standardised body shapes in design affects our perception of the normative body. Three abstract forms reminiscent of bodily shapes were made from wire and fabric offcuts and became dress forms that were draped upon to develop RTW styles. The design process for each garment begins here, and was then fitted on the human body and adjusted, going back and forth in a conversation between constructed forms and natural ones.
