The Schon! Magazine 'Great Journey to Eternity' Editorial Stars Eugen Bauder

Male model Eugen Bauder channels his inner World War II soldier for the Schon! Magazine 'Great Journey to Eternity' editorial. Striking strong and heroic poses in front of photographer Philipp Mueller's lens, he is clad in modernized versions of that era's fashion. Nevertheless, the sweepingly cinematic shot may distract both men and women from the manly ensembles as well as the German stud.

Starring alongside a beautiful beast of a horse, Bauder brings to mind the character of Albert Narracott in 'War Horse.' The Schon! Magazine 'Great Journey to Eternity' editorial, however, is much more gritty than that heartwarming tale. Appear in issue 19 of the publication, the photoshoot was styled by fashion editor Laurent Dombrowicz.
