We’ve noticed an abundance of impressive, young men’s designers here in Canada, and Vancouver’s London Alexander is leading the way for these entrepreneurial, multi-faceted males.

The star is most definitely on the rise for West Coast band Bear Mountain, whether they have time to sit back, bask, and properly acknowledge it or not.

“I started shooting back in 2010 as a hobby. I loved the idea of being able to work with a team and create something amazing through images. Creativity was lacking in my life, and my day job at the time, so I treated photography as my way to escape.
