Alex is the guru of cool. As the co-founder of Rudy’s Barbershop, Neverstop, and the wildly popular Ace Hotel (Seattle, Portland, Palm Springs, and New York), his work has him constantly on the run, but keeps him tapped deeply into urban style and design. He is serious but low-key in demeanor, and he’s exceptionally connected to Seattle’s music and “street” culture roots. Seattle: warm summer days on Lake Washington.
