After going to the last (Capsule) trade show and seeing this collection by Cleveland designers Wrath Arcane, I knew it was going to be a huge hit.

Exciting news for all you female fashion lovers out there! I received and email from the folks over at BPMW today, informing me that they will be launching the first ever (Capsule) Women’s show this February! (Capsule) has always been my favorite event of the year, and I am pretty excited to hear that all you ladies get to share in the fun that us gents have been having for the past couple seasons (who am I kidding, I’ll be at the women’s one too. Twice the fun in one season!). The dates are set for February 22nd and 23rd! So set you New Year’s resolutions to stun and prep to head over the (Capsule) Women’s.

Corey and I caught a glimpse of these great Ladyboy grey, buckle and canvas boots at NYC’s Capsule collection this summer. They’re comfortable, casual and a great addition to any downtowners closet!

Get it at Oak!

My favorite booth at Capsule every year is by far Naked & Famous. The guys are always super energetic, very enthused about their products, and could quite possibly be the best salesmen I have ever met (not that they need to be with product as amazing as theirs). The denim pieces they offer are amazing, and their mixtures of denim with other fabrics result in some of the most unique, high quality jeans in the industry. Here’s a preview of one of their new pairs of jeans that are cross woven with a warm cotton fabric to give you a super comfortable lined pair of denim. That’s all I’m going to show you for now. Check back soon, as I can say for sure right now that I’ll be featuring more from Naked & Famous in the next couple days. If you can’t wait that long, be sure to check out the Naked & Famous website.

B store has always been one of the top producers of shoes, and from what I saw of their Spring 2010 Collection, you won’t be let down. I am so excited to see the golf looking shoe featured above with the tassels and the tongue. I’d rock them, would you? Also keep your eye out for more cut out designs. For more on B store and to see what they have for this season be sure to check out their website.

Y-3 is launching some bright and unique high tops for Spring 2010. I love the speckled ones the most. Trying to find truly fashionable sneakers these days isn’t the easiest, but Y-3 does a good job. Be sure to check out everything Y-3 has to offer at their website.

Fred Perry has a great collection ready for Spring 2010, that I was lucky enough to view at the Capsule event last Tuesday. The collection features a lot of sheers, as well as this heavy sweater material tank top. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the collection. For more on Fred Perry be sure to check out their website.

A fairly new player in the game, Creep presented a collection at Capsule that was so flower laden it couldn’t be ignored.

Corey and I just got back from Capsule, and while we were incredibly impressed with the majority of the collections present, we both had a little soft spot for S***R Shoes. S***R has provided kicks for Thom Yorke of Radiohead to Orlando Bloom and even Matthew Williamson! Gathering inspiration from the iconic James Dean, S***R shoes have a recognizable look with the modern convenience of a rubber sole. But S***R  Shoes are anything but sneakers. Made from the finest suede and leather, S***R has a variety of amazing boots, oxfords, lace-ups and saddles totally worth getting your feet on!

I know it’s day one of (Capsule), but I haven’t made it over yet! But here’s a little preview of the latest Mjolk collection, I can’t wait to see what they have to offer at (Capsule) tomorrow.

Our good friends at Mjolk sent us a reminder that they will be showing their newest collection at (Capsule) in two weeks. I can’t wait for both my favorite event of the year, and to see some of my favorite designers as well. Just talking about it has me all stir crazy!

I love going to (Capsule) every season, because I get to see the latest collection from Denim & Thread in person. The pieces are always very trendy and I am really digging their Spring 2009 Collection. The laid back looks have me drooling to get my hands on a peice.

Fashion Indie friends, Wrath Arcane, have been quick to rise up my list of favorite designers, and their latest Fall 2009 Collection jst moved them up a few more notches. I got a chance to check this collection out at (Capsule) a few weeks back, and I fell in love. I really do plan on buying 90% of this collection it is that good. The leather products that are new for this year are insane, and they have more shoes besides the ones shown. The collection is insanely good, incase you couldn’t tell from my excitement.

Mjolk has been a favorite brand of mine for a long while now, and when I got to see their Fall 2009 Collection at (Capsule) this year I was really excited to see what they had. Well it’s safe to say I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. Mjolk is gearing up to launch another amazing collection. They have some great thigh length shirts and cardigans and the micro print suit is amazing from any distance. The super small print gives it a completely different look from up close.

Another one of my favorite (Capsule) brands, S2VS has quite an amazing Fall collection lined up for all you fashion hungry men out there. I had a few extra minutes to spare at the massive trade show, and I was lucky enough to spend them with S2VS designer Sean Salim talking about what he has to offer us for Fall 2009. The collection is a solid mix of denim, plaids and stunning outerwear. Much like what S2VS is offering for Spring 2009, the brand is continuing forward with the double wasted jean, which  I absolutely love. One of my favorite pieces which isn’t featured in the images, was a full body, one piece, thermal suit (much like that of Alexander Wang’s or A.P.C). What is the difference between his and theirs? A couple hundred dollars! We talked styling for the piece as well, and Sean recommends using it for a warmth aspect and layering it under a pair of denim and a long cardigan or coat. This really is a brand/collection to be very excited about. Call me crazy, but I may even consider S2VS the men’s version of Alexander Wang!

I popped into New York for a quick minute over the weekend so that I could attend my second season of (Capsule), which has quickly trumped New York Fashion Week as my favorite event of the year. With some amazing designers like Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Denim & Thread, Buckler, Chronicles of Never and April 77, (Capsule) provides buyers and writers the amazing opportunity to see what the hippest designers have planned for the upcoming season. This season featured some of my favorite designers in the industry, and I will be featuring them all week as the pictures roll in from their press offices. 

Chronicles of Never Shoes

I was lucky enough to meet and talk to some amazing people and designers from labels like Wrath Arcane, Velour, Naked & Famous, Lova and S2VS. Another season another great success. I can’t wait to see these collections on the shelves in 2009/2010.

Our good friends at Wrath Arcane have some really exciting news for all of you indies!

We’re going to be showing our FALL 09 line at all three (capsule) shows in NY, Paris, and Las Vegas.  We’ve just finished designing the line, and now we’re going back and forth with our US factories with the samples.  The line is expanding to include boots, hats, and gloves.  WHOA.
