Katie Ko

Katie Ko is a Womenswear Designer based in London.

Examining the intersection between fashion and art, Ko begins by printing her drawings and paintings onto fabric, which then transforms into wearable art. She pushes the boundaries of fashion, textiles and fine art; employing various techniques in each piece of work, exploring the craftsmanship and extensive details behind couture through sustainable practices.

Ko grew up in Hong Kong, moved to London in 2018 to complete a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design from London College of Fashion and graduated BA (HONS) Fashion Design at Ravensbourne University.

The concept of her first collection, titled ‘Furore’, derived from an emphasis on ‘radical thinking’, where the adjective ‘radical’ can be simply defined as rigorous change of the fundamental nature of something. ‘Thinking’ and ‘behaviour’ are intrinsically linked, although it can be argued that thinking is a form of behaviour.
