Katie Ko — S/S 2026 Collection

Orchid Ostinato

Photographed for designer Katie Ko, Orchid Ostinato is her S/S 2026 collection: sculptural silk chiffon dresses shaped like the ruffled cattleya orchid, and embroidered, pleated gowns drawn from the twisted, spotted petals of the odontoglossum. The finish nods to carved jade and to the orchid's place in Chinese culture as a symbol of elegance and strength.
