The Undercurrent Pants in Cocoa Twill are KATALYST’s summer solution to a sturdy pant.
Each season, Kate works to develop a reliable, flattering, and comfortable pant silhouette which serves both the season and the wearer.
The Undercurrent Pants are a remix of the Windcatcher Pant from SS25/26. Both styles are a unisex fit and feature a hyper-adjustable waistband making them size-adaptive.
This silhouette is informed by the ‘Legs’ piece from Parallel Frames, the absurd sculpture series that Kate developed to drape and design the collection on. The darts that form the silhouette of the leg taper it in at the side to create the curved shape and the diagonal dart that swoops down from the waist where the side packets are inserted into.
The 100% tencel twill main fabric is breathable and light- making them summer-friendly.
This season’s offering showcases front seams cutting down the front and back of the leg, and top-stitched pockets at the back.
Metal waist adjusters at the front and back draw the eye to the waistband which is enveloped by panels on either side that curve under towards the side seams.
A balloon-style hem creates an emphasised leg silhouette.
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.
