LUNAR NEW YEAR 2026
YEAR OF THE FIRE HORSE
On February 17, 2026, the Lunar New Year welcomes the Year of the Fire Horse - a year associated with courage, independence and unstoppable energy. Traditionally linked to movement and transformation, the Fire Horse represents bold beginnings and forward momentum, balanced by intention and clarity. For Silk Laundry, this energy felt instinctive.
THE STORY
This Lunar New Year capsule draws from the horse’s symbolism across cultures - strength, resilience and freedom - and interprets it through the Silk Laundry wardrobe. Rendered in vivid red and anchored by a custom placement print, the collection captures motion through fluid silk and sculptural form.
The capsule features the 1996 Dress, Short Sleeve Boyfriend Shirt, Pareo, Scarf and Fan - pieces designed to move seamlessly from day to evening, ceremony to celebration. Each silhouette reflects ease and adaptability, offering space for both ritual and personal expression. A considered moment within the Silk Laundry calendar - where energy, symbolism and design meet.
THE PRINT
The Year of the Horse artwork features wild horses galloping beneath a bold red sun - a symbol of endurance, optimism and momentum. Drawing inspiration from wildlife and the landscapes that sustain it, the print reflects Silk Laundry’s ongoing appreciation for the natural world and the life within it.
A visual expression of strength in motion.


A LETTER FROM KATIE
Each year, we return to themes that remind us of movement - both physical and emotional. The Year of the Fire Horse felt fitting to explore, not only for its symbolism of strength and independence, but for the spirit it carries.
The horse has long been seen as a messenger of freedom and resilience, and that energy runs through each piece. We designed this capsule as a moment of celebration - a reminder that even as we refine and return to what feels true, there is always room for passion, vitality and colour.
