Founded in East London in 1998 by Russell Waterman and Sofia Prantera, SILAS grew out of the community surrounding Slam City Skates. Shaped by independent music, skateboarding and British youth culture, the brand combined everyday clothing with distinctive colours, thoughtful details and playful graphics, becoming a cult name in British streetwear.

At Noisy Nest, we carry the UK collection led by Taro Ray, co-founder of AFFXWRKS alongside Kiko Kostadinov, Stephen Mann and Michael Kopelman, and former head designer of MACKINTOSH 0001. Appointed creative director in 2025, Ray revisits SILAS’s early archives through his own experiences of London’s independent music scene. His approach centres on clothes that feel natural to wear and easy to layer, with considered proportions and practical details drawn from how people dress in everyday life. Relaxed tailoring, understated trousers and playful graphics bring this perspective to life, carrying the brand’s independent spirit into a new chapter while leaving room for each wearer’s own interpretation.
