Forget Iron Man 2. This is the summer sequel you need to check out. After the success of Room Service’s previous Made in the 216 events, owner Danielle DeBoe is bringing 60 Cleveland-area designers together June 11 and 12 for a summer showcase at the Gordon Square Arts District’s Near West Lofts. Check out local jewelry, furniture, baby gear and candles. Local menswear designer Wrath Arcane will launch its new label, the Dredgers Union (left), at the two-day event. “I am really excited about this,” DeBoe says. “It’s a domestically produced line at price points that are almost unheard of for U.S.-made apparel.”
