WILLIAM FREDERICK

William Frederick is a Cleveland-based clothing brand founded in 2018 by Bill McNicol. The collection is sewn locally; the factory is next door to the brand’s studio and showroom. Offerings are limited to small batch production numbers of 15 or less per style. They are constructed with textiles from Japan, Ireland, Belgium, Italy, and deadstock fabrics from third-generation family-owned fabric companies in New York City, Los Angeles, and Bologna, Italy. The brand’s silhouettes are focused on simplicity and ease with subtle hints of sensuality, balancing between durable and delicate.
