Model Citizen: Pierre Tremblay

By Vancouver Magazine /

Over the past two decades, he’s collaborated with a motley crew — from the (pre-cocaine) Barenaked Ladies to (David Usher) Moist — and, most recently, Billy Talent under his own Hive Management. The roster of clients routinely changes: he just signed buzzy new band Wildlife. Scouting new music can make for an intrepid existence, but a stylish one too: Tremblay picks up personal style cues while shopping the major cities of the world and counts Spandau, Berlin’s cutting-edge fashion district, a fave.
