Stylee Fridays: Q&A with Silas Adler of Soulland
- story Chioma Nnadi
Soulland designer Silas Adler is a young man with an old soul. He founded the Danish menswear line while still a teenager, and sharpens his quirky sartorial skills with every season. The new collection is called 5th and Events, and the lookbook is quite obviously a lesson in street-corner dressing. We spoke with Adler yesterday about the hybrid headgear, smoking pipe pendants and Sherlock Homles capes he has lined up for spring 2010; about the importance of cross-dressing and why the Copenhagen-based designer is leaving his hometown behind next season.

- story THE FADER
Silas Adler, the designer behind the Danish label Soulland, was a bit of a child prodigy (or teenage one at least) and has had a special place in out hearts since we discovered his awesome madcapness a few seasons. He started his menswear line seven years ago and only just turned 23, which means he was probably barely out of diapers when he started creating mood boards and styling his moms. The Soulland show was held in the eerily epic and abandoned Carlsburg factory, soon to be turned into a space for Copenhagen’s emerging art community and almost got lost wondering around the empty beer tanks on out way up to the show. We caught up with Silas after the show for a collection inspiration breakdown which surprisingly included ghostly mountaineers among other things. Listen out for the show’s closing track which was orchestrated by the man himself, and will be available free for download on the site.
