Jake Silbert

Jake Silbert is Highsnobiety's Director of News. An award-winning writer, Jake has over a half-decade of experience overseeing for fashion and culture publications, leading editorial teams, and ideating content for magazines.

Jake previously lived in Japan, following a multi-year obsession with Japanese fashion, food, and architecture, before moving back to America to begin a career as a writer and editor.

At Highsnobiety, Jake frequently explores disparate subjects including the power of elderly dressing, the rebranding of Tory Burch, and the collaborative Louis Vuitton collection ideated by NIGO and the late Virgil Abloh, for which he secured one of Abloh's final interviews.

Jake additionally covers 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 an elderly person. Loves: chunky walking sneakers, artisanal clothing, 'Simpsons' podcasts, 'Dark Souls' speedruns. Hates: overripe apples, sweaty summer humidity.
