A Day In Denver | Lifestyle Shoot with Menswear Shop Steadbrook Pt.2
Autumn / Winter 19 Lookbook: A Day in Denver Pt. 2
Check out Pt. 1 of this shoot HERE.
The day was just getting started for the Steadbrook boys. We had already eaten, shopped and read our way through Cap Hill, and we stopped back at the shop for another quick pour over. We were just getting started, and after a quick outfit change we were buzzing with excitement to head onwards. The Rino store is located just a few blocks away from the light rail line, and we love taking advantage of that convenience whenever we can.

Through Denver's timeline Five Points was an industrial district but has always held an important place within the creative community as the home to some of the city's best DIY art venues, Jazz bars and other community based projects. More recently it has been referred to and known as RiNo, or the River North Arts District and is home to Steadbrook. Over the years its immediate proximity to downtown Denver as well as its association with the beatnik movement through Jack Kerouac made it the perfect home for the emerging arts and creative community in Denver. As much time as I spend here, I often find myself surprised by many of the new galleries and businesses that seem to spring up over night.
The RTD rail system operates 365 days a year. With light and commuter rail lines to more than 50 stations throughout the metro area. Any Denver resident knows that the talks of light rail expansion and routes are somewhat of a running joke. But despite lags in construction and scheduling it’s a great way to take public transportation through the city. I was able to get some shots of the guys with digital and film on our way to Union Station downtown in the heart of Denver.
Union Station is a 100 year old landmark located in the heart of Denver. Downtown Denver has so many interesting things to offer, but one of the most recent and high level projects is undoubtedly the newly finished Union Station. Hub to many forms of transit including light rail, Amtrak and local buses, it is centrally located and home to tons of exciting businesses and restaurants. Whether you’re breezing by for a drink at the Cooper Lounge, grabbing some food at mercantile or a cone from Milk box Ice Creamery, you’re sure to find something fun and new.
A cold snowy day and empty bellies meant it was time for some delicious Chinese street food! Zoe Ma Ma, named for Anna Zoe, the Taiwanese chef and mother of owner Edwin Zoe, was just what the doctor ordered. Prepared with both zeal and tradition, it was no time before our heads were bowed into steaming bowls of broth and noodles. I was able to get some shots of the guys before downing a bowl of noodles myself.
The rest of the day was just getting started, but as luck would have it we had to get back to some real work. I am so grateful for shops like Steadbrook that make Denver and RiNo such special places. I had a blast shooting with the guys and can’t wait to do it again soon.
