At different points during my conversation with Mozhdeh Matin, she tilted her laptop camera to show me her dog, a closer view of a painting that I’d admired in her living room, and a glimpse of the beach out her window. The views in and from Matin’s home are filled with unpretentious joy and visual nuance. Matin, the founder and designer of Mozh Mozh, imbues her collections with similar traits.  Based in Peru and developed with local artisans, Mozh Mozh pieces are entirely made from Peruvian ...

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. Collaborating with makeup artist Rahsthetics, photography assistant Roya DelSol and models Yves Jarvis and Natelise Ekland, the team created sumptuous tableaux at Polyester Studios, which was outfitted for the shoot with ten foot collages of handwoven, printed, and satin textiles. Janghorban layered looks from our collections up, down and d...

Bazin bows rustle against dying marigolds. They punctuate the hot and grey landscape of downtown Toronto gardens. The air is dry and clear. Cascading sheeths of waxed cotton pour downwards like water from a fountain, like the kiss from late summer wasps, twirling. Giant sun-bleached asparagus stalks and concrete dogs fill the streets, and Jana laughs at this fantasy in the void of the city.  FW20 Editorial ~ Styling and Photos by Nadia Gohar + Lee Dekel Art Direction by Nadia Gohar Modeled ...
