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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolce-gabbana-dolce), [Balmain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-ternels-de-balmain), Vivienne Westwood, Dries Van Noten and Mihara Yasuhiro, along with accessories from [Angels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angels-powder) 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.
