I don’t know how we missed ‘The [Fisher King](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-west-collection)’ in Sportswear International #225, as it has all the elements for an epic men’s fashion editorial win. There’s model Josh Beech, for one, and there’s photography by Ryan Michael Kelly and styling by John Tan—a triumvirate that usually tips us off. There is also the [theme of fishing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitka-gear-crosscurrent-collection)—one we’ve seen a lot of this season—and of [menswear that is approachable yet stylish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kody-phillips).

Check out my favorite images from ‘The Fisher King’ in Sportswear International #225, and check out the links below for more images from the full set.
