Model Nicholas Hoult is a rifle-toting outdoorsman in this Bullett Magazine #3 editorial. Photographer Grand Thomas and stylist Eilidh Greig combine their creative talents to transport the viewer to a bygone era. Hoult is photographed on the grounds of an aging country estate, its stone walls turning beautifully black; Thomas also used a vintage lens filter to add an even more retro aesthetic.
Nicholas Hoult exudes masculinity in every image, wearing separates from Christopher Kane, Lanvin, Tom Ford, Dries Van Noten, Dior Homme, Paul Smith and Gucci. If this is what living a rugged life would be like, I'm all for it.
My favorite images from the Bullett Magazine #3 editorial are the ones in which Hoult is carrying a rifle. That mix of timeless self-sustainability and modern fashion is irresistible.
