Trio Thomas Burkovatz, Thomas Sottong and Victor Nylander finds themselves born into a royal family as they play the role of the crown princes in the All the King’s Men shoot, lensed by London-based fashion photographer Jacob Sutton for the Mixte’s Fall/Winter 2011 issue.
Styled by Bryan McMahon and assistant stylist Ruth Hickman, the models look spiffy in military ensembles from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Balmain, Vivienne Westwood, Dries Van Noten and Mihara Yasuhiro, along with accessories from Angels The Costumiers and Hugo Boss. The look that is pulled together is both undeniably masculine and terribly chic.
For those who are interested in rocking military-inspired fashion, the All the King's Men pictorial by Jacob Sutton would serve as a great template.
