Founded in 2003 by Mizuki Ueda, a former shop assistant for the brand Moussy, SLY emerged during the peak of the charismatic clerk era in Tokyo. It became a central pillar of the Shibuya 109 fashion scene, influencing the evolution of the Gal subculture into more sophisticated, street-oriented styles. As part of Baroque Japan Limited, the brand played a significant role in globalizing Japanese real clothes through international retail expansion.
