Where is Silas? (actually they’ll be back soon!)<br />
Posted July 17th, 2010 by admin and filed in Fashion </p>
<p>It is now over 3 years ago that Silas, one of the UK’s most inspirational streetwear labels, decided to call time on distributing to the European market. Well the great news for all the cult followers of the brand is they’re back, and looking pretty much like they’ve never been away!</p>
<p>Silas and Maria was founded back in 1998 by Russell Waterman and Sophia Pantera, and quickly grew into a globally recognised brand. Over the years they have collaborated with some very famous names and faces: James Jarvis (graphic artist and creator of the Amos Toys range and famed King Ken collection), Fergus ‘Fergadelic’ Purcell (renound graphic designer and founder of Tonite Clothing, and Gareth Skewis (one of the brains behind Pointer Footwear) just to name a few. With such a great team of designers and collaborators, Silas and Maria quickly began to put British streetwear to a global audience, and with the help of James Jarvis’ ‘Martin’ figure, they followed on by establishing a UK vinyl toy market.</p>
<p>Many of the UK’s finest and most famous streetwear boutiques such as ‘Bond International’, ‘Hanon Shop’ (who have managed to keep a Silas supply line going for the last 3 years via Japanese import) and the much missed ‘One 40 Five’ store in Brighton built much of their reputations around the success of the Silas and Maria brand. Many a time I personally travelled to the top of the Brighton Laines just to view and buy from the range, which was always complemented by a large range of James Jarvis toys. Somehow the likes of Stussy and Maharishi didn’t seem of that much interest alongside the Silas combination!</p>
<p>In 2006, when the founders decided to focus on other projects, the brand sadly closed nearly all its accounts outside of Japan leaving an army of devoted followers disappointed. That is until now, as Silas is set to return to the UK this summer! Despite being away in Japan for the last few years, they are still collaborating with cutting edge UK designers such as European Bob and shoe manufacturers George Cox, and the early indications are they could be making waves on their return!</p>
<p>Silas will be showing their new collection exclusively at Margin, the UK’s longest running independent tradeshow. Margin has run since August 2002, and has been the launching block for many new brands as well as supporting some of the biggest names on the streetwear scene. This years Margin on the 1st and 2nd of August will see the likes of Obey Clothing (who will be showing off their new ladies range) rub shoulders with not only Silas themselves, but also Gravis, Duffs, Dephect, Vestal and Misticon Clothing.</p>
<p>We are obviously pschyed to be seeing the new Silas stuff, and also look forward to checking out what other newly emerging brands are on offer. To check out what Silas have been up to you can still check out their website at www.silasandmaria.com and for further info on the 19th edition of the Margin show go here www.margin.tv

Art Preview + Shepard Fairey + AUG 2010

SHEPARD FAIREY at MARGIN<br />
AUGUST 2010<br />
Since 1989, the Obey street art campaign has become an important urban phenomenon, subconsciously touching those aware of their environment.<br />
   Through the vision of Shepard Fairey, Obey has evolved into one of the most controversial yet influential symbols of the 21st century.<br />
  Derived from Andre the Giant, a pop-culture athlete in the eighties, the Obey icon has appeared in developed and rural cities around the world. SHEPARD FAIREY at MARGIN<br />
AUGUST 2010<br />
The images Shepard Fairey uses in his art includes historical propaganda, Black Power, parodies of authority and tweaks of popular culture icons.<br />
   Shepard’s work deconstructs how powerful visuals and emotionally potent phrases can be used to manipulate and indoctrinate.<br />
  A selection of Shepard Fairey prints will be on display in the Magazine Lounge at Margin in August 2010.
