In spring 2021, 100% Silk Shop owner Lee Dekel and writer Esmé Hogeveen began chatting about the idea of a survey asking designers and artists to share thoughts on revered textiles, pandemic pastimes, and creative practices. Taking Notes was born and our first conversation is with designer Julia Heuer.
Building on an illustrious career as a textile print designer for Jakob Schlaepfer, the German-born Heuer founded her namesake collection in 2017. Since then, the brand has developed a followi...
This season we invited Toronto photographer Jorian Charlton and stylist Nariman Janghorban to create a riot of colour and texture from the shop’s closet.

On a punishingly hot day in May we asked Lunakhods to photograph the queer icon Mina Gerges in a half-renovated studio above 100% SILK. Mina emerged on the set glowing, blasting Arabic love songs and ready to transform.
Inspired by Mina’s unapologetic presence, Lunakhods transported him onto the beaches, gardens and bathrooms of Egypt, Pakistan, Ghana, and Uzbekistan, environments where queerness remains hidden and underground.
