TD Tom Davies has introduced bold new lifestyle shots. Shot in April, the new imagery reflects the brand’s growth, which has seen a 30 percent increase in business since the start of this year, according to the company. They attribute the growth to the brand’s expansion into the Asian market, therefore the new images appeal to the “Asian penchant for all things British” and focus on the brand’s “luxury London” aesthetic. Shot in the London private members club, Soho House, the images ooze elegance and sophistication, while the stars of the shoot are the brand’s retro and feminine cat eyes and rounded panto frames.
