Jake Silbert
(Director of News / New York)
Jake Silbert is Highsnobiety's Director of News. An award-winning writer, Jake has nearly a decade of experience overseeing fashion publications, leading editorial teams, and publishing in print media.
Jake previously lived in Japan, following a multi-year obsession with Japanese fashion, food, and design, before moving back to America to begin a career as a writer and editor.
At Highsnobiety, Jake frequently explores disparate subjects that range from the rebranding to Tory Burch to the humble beauty of brown clothes to the last collaborative Louis Vuitton collection ideated by NIGO and the late Virgil Abloh, for which he conducted one of Abloh's final interviews.
Jake is perhaps best known for tackling divisive subjects, like Supreme's waning relevance, that incite wider discussion among even people who only read the articles' headline (believe it or not). Previously, Jake pitched, wrote, and edited content for a handful of burgeoning digital publications, even drafting long thinkpieces for social media simply for the sake of spreading the good word of good clothing. That's what it all comes back to for Jake: good clothing.
Jake lives in New York, where he's perpetually hunting the best bagel and collecting .mp3s like a boomer. Loves: chunky walking sneakers, washed-out clothing, 'Simpsons' podcasts, 'Dark Souls' speedruns. Hates: overripe apples, sweaty summer humidity.
