The 'It’s Offi­cial' Helen Marlen magazine editorial stars Ford model and artist Brad Fisher. Landing the cover of the publication's spring/summer 2012 issue, the dapper and distinguished model exudes the air of a true gentleman.

Proving that style only gets better with age, Brad is a vision in black, white, navy and bold turquoise suits. [Tailored to perfection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/west-coast-ivy-collection), the ultra cool 'It's Official' Helen Marlen magazine editorial is lensed by Jens Ing­vars­son. The photographer captures Brad against a series of vibrant backdrops.

Brad is prim in plaids, chic in checkers and polished in pinstripes, sporting a slew of designer looks styled by Katie Burnett. Donning pieces from Tom Ford, Salvatore Ferragamo and Gucci among others, the model is the epitome of sharp and sleek.
