Fashion Week Spring 2015 collections for men kicks off tomorrow in London, before heading to Milan and then Paris. To celebrate, FashionTV dedicates ‘Model of the Week’ to Aussie breakout male model, Thomas Bull. And sorry, he’s taken!

He’s from Perth in Western Australia and has travelled across the pond to New York to launch his model career. Thomas Bull is 24-years-old and has now been modelling internationally for around two years, which make the fact that he got to kiss actress Freida Pinto in the new Free People short film pretty maj-or (see below)!

Known for his trademark beard and “blue-steel” stare, Bull is proving to be on a serious model roll. But the beard, is all part of the success, he revealed in an interview with WHS Magazine.

“When I first started modeling I began videoing myself…I thought that I wanted to diversify myself and pick a niche market or find something different that not everybody had, so I was very tactful to grow the beard,” he explains. Despite his agency trying to encourage him to shave it, Bull stuck to his guns and it paid off!

He has secured campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Perry Ellis and Banana Republic among others and is a favorite on the menswear catwalks, walking for the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Philipp Plein and Billy Reid among others.

Naturally though, we didn’t expect that Bull would stop with modelling; his chiseled features and irresistible simply made for the movies. With dreams of breaking into acting, Bull has starred in his first short film, ‘Rangeen,’ for bohemian fashion brand Free People. Watch below and see what you think of his acting skills… we’re not going to lie, we’re a little bit in love.
