My dear friend Maricio Canales, whom I met while working at Love Brigade, just informed me of an awesome party happening in DC this weekend.

LoveBrigade along with two other designers are having their DC Launch Party. For all you “Fashionistas” and DC locals, this is a great opportunity to meet the designers of not only LoveBrigade but of Wrath Arcane and Plastic Heaven. All great labels, all great designs, all great people…Drink, mingle and shop!

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.

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.

The fashion world never sleeps- there is always something new and exciting to work on. This goes for Wrath Arcane designer Sean Bilovecky, who is constantly busy with his Midwest-based label. I was lucky to catch him for a quick interview about fall ‘08, Cleveland and what awaits the brand in the future.

Wrath Arcane is based in Cleveland. What encouraged your decision to keep the brand grounded in the Midwest?

Well, for starters, we all live here. Moving everyone and the business to a different city would be difficult and expensive. Cleveland has to be one of the cheapest cities in the country to live and work. In a weird way, I think all the bad things that have happened to the city both inform and inspire what we do. Our studio is in the middle of what used to be the second largest garment producing block(s) in the country, second only to New York. We’re surrounded by vacant factories that are a constant reminder that things need to change in the US.

Wrath Arcane is sold all over the United States and has become a global brand. Where do you think the better feedback comes from- the coasts or the Midwest? Domestic or international?

It’s actually pretty even. The line has been doing really well at retail everywhere. The only stores that are hesitant to pick up the line are those whose customer base prefers bright colors or flashy labels. Bling Bling is a little afraid of the WRATH ARCANES.

You always incorporate several unique design details into your garments. What elements did you repeat throughout the fall ‘08 line?

FALL 08 is where we started playing more with our “harness” idea. We started to develop smaller “harness like” details for some of the wovens. Also, it’s the first time we use waxed canvas, which will be a staple fabric for a long time to come. We also started bringing in more color, although SPRING 09 has much more, and FALL 09 is looking to continue our newfound appreciation for color and pattern.

What have your latest inspirations been?

For FALL 09 it’s a little set of flag and patriotism images from early days of the US. FALL 09 is a mix of Revolutionary War meets Grunge (hate that word) meets high school football.

What season are you currently working on for Wrath Arcane? What details can we expect to see?

We’re right in the middle of FALL 09. We make every pattern ourselves… so the process can be a little overwhelming sometimes. We have the outerwear done, and we’re currently working on new wovens. We’re also going to have boots, shoes, full fashion knits, and more accessories for FALL 09… all made in the US!!! It’s a ton of work, but we are obsessed with the idea of brand expansion.

What, if anything, has been the biggest change for you this year- good or bad?

Getting married two days ago… haha. We’re on the verge of some pretty exciting things. We’re talking to one of the “major” athletic brands about a possible “collaboration” that would see retail in SPRING 10. Also, we are beginning our big push into the European market for FALL 09. As with any company/brand, the economic is constantly on our minds, but we are pushing forward no matter what.

What’s the best thing about raising a fashion label in Cleveland? The toughest?

The best thing is the cost of doing business, the toughest thing is… well, it’s tough to grow a brand in any city.
