Creative Potential

This course made possible by the generous support of Davines

Tom Connell is a hairdresser who’s style is made up of unique pieces which tell their own stories outside the concept of fashion.

In 2009 Tom relocated to London to work with the iconic Trevor Sorbie, after 6 years Tom was made International Artistic Director of the brand traveling the world heading up shows & photographic campaigns.

In parallel to this Tom continues to produce personal art projects & editorial stories with the aim of discovering what’s possible with hair. Building characters, stories and concepts with the aim of moving the conversation in hairdressing forward.

In 2019 Tom joined the Italian B Corp hair care brand Davines as their Art Director, responsible for photographic campaigns and directing the hair identity of the brand.

“The aim is to produce work which is singular, work which can be appreciated or not appreciated, but never compared.”
