Founded in London in 1998 by Sofia Maria Prantera and Russell Waterman, Silas emerged from the late-90s skate and music counterculture. Born out of the Slam City Skates scene, the brand quickly established a distinct "East London Street" aesthetic that blended traditional British elegance with rebellious skatewear. Silas became a pioneer of the lifestyle brand concept, incorporating art toys, fanzines, and graphic storytelling into its identity, often collaborating with artists like James Jarvis and Fergus "Fergadelic" Purcell.
