100% Silk was founded in 2016 by Lee Dekel as a way to showcase specialized forms of folk craft in textile. Each collection begins an investigation into a particular art form. Lee collaborates with craftspeople ranging from seventh generation ikat dyers in Uzbekistan, to flag makers in Ghana trained in the art of storytelling through appliqué. Every material used in her collections has been designed and made from scratch, guided by the technique and informed by the environment from which they were born.
