How He Wore It: Making Heat Waves

A handful of weeks back, Cameron Forbes joined us to shoot two How He Wore It spreads. Word on the street is sometimes I subject people to wearing ridiculous things like leather jackets in the summer heat. Survey says: it's true.

How He Wore It: Cameron Forbes

You've met Cameron Forbes here on the blog before.

He's one of the most intensely talented songwriter/artists I've come to know, and is one of those forces that is quietly but quickly making waves when it comes to his craft.  We made a pact about 5 years ago late night on a Brooklyn-bound F train to chase the dream with full force one day. It's that day every day, and it has been for some time now.

Introducing: Cameron Forbes

One of my favorite qualities that people can have is sheer confidence in themselves and their own futures.  I've known Cameron Forbes for a handful of years now, and he has always been the one there to go on my adventures through New York when we were both the broke interns with cool jobs, living in Brooklyn.

It's been a while since then, we've both come a long way, and I'm so proud to share with my readers that this week he has released his first EP "Masterpiece", as a solo artist, now available on iTunes, Amazon, and all the other lovely places you procure music. My personal favorite track is "When You Leave"; it's actually breathtaking.

The Style Cooperative has a special soft spot for stylish folks chasing dreams. There's even an upcoming project we have going on with both Cameron Forbes and Culture of Creativity (also insanely talented), so stay tuned and go check out the music.  You'll be hearing his name more soon, and then seeing it in lights.

The Journey Continues

If you follow me on Twitter (which obviously you should because then you're up to date with all of my (mis)adventures instantly (@RachelABrooks)), you'll know quite well that I'm working from New York this week.  It's a bit of a multi-functional trip.

Helped a friend move into a new place... across the country.

Went styling with the insanely talented Cameron Forbes.

Did a photo shoot with the help of the also talented Suhaly of Culture of Creativity.

I make a little appearance in it as well.

And I did a LOT of talking about The Style Cooperative with some fantastic folks.  There is some great news coming up about it, so do stay tuned.  It won't disappoint!
