Hip clothing brand Silas & Maria are well-known for the wide range of artists and designers they work with, across the media, to keep the label's identity evolving. This creative input - manifested in brochures, catalogues, stickers, an interactive website and the famous Silas dolls, designed by Jarvis James - has become the trademark of the brand, coupled with an irreverent approach that refuses to take itself too seriously. Where is Silas? showcases this diverse pool of talent, including work from Ben Sansbury, Lizzie Finn, Fergus Purcell, James Jarvis, Clare Shilland and Will Sweeney. Set around a loose narrative, all key contributors have produced work exclusively for this project, ranging from photography, illustration and 3D pieces to creative writing and design.

The brainchild of Sophia Prantera and Russell Waterman, Silas started life as a small men's and womenswear label in 1998, and has since grown into an internationally distributed brand. Silas has collaborated with Ben Sansbury and worked closely with other artists and designers, both in terms of creating their collections and through a range of special projects. By remaining low key and independent, Silas has successfully balanced commercial and critical success.
