Luke Evans brings his 'BDXY' to The Standard, Hua Hin

You may already know Luke Evans as a Welsh actor and singer, but he has also forayed into fashion by launching BDXY, the UK-born fashion and resort-wear brand, with his co-founder and partner Fran Tomas in February 2024. 

Scheduled for Nov 7 at The Standard, Hua Hin, "BDXY Dine At Dusk" will allow guests to experience the brand while joining him and Tomas over a special dinner at Praça, the resort's Thai Izakaya restaurant.

Combining Evans’ experience in film, Tomas’ background in architecture and celebrity stylist Christopher Brown’s expertise as a creative consultant, the brand draws on three complementary perspectives and a mutual appreciation for timeless design.

The effortless appeal of a perfectly cut T-shirt, the confidence of a classic swim silhouette and the attention paid to how a garment feels all inform the BDXY approach. Each piece takes its name from a role on a film set, a subtle connection to the creative world behind the brand.

Swimwear has been at BDXY core since its debut. From the 80s-inspired “Cameo” swim shorts to the classic “Atmos” briefs and Brazilian sunga-inspired “Captain”, the founding collection explores familiar shapes through carefully considered proportions, alongside t-shirts, underwear and resort-ready accessories.  

Praça’s spread of Thai and international favourites, signature dishes, imported oysters, fresh seafood, artisanal cold cuts, cheeses and desserts, while DJ James Clark sets the mood with a live percussionist and saxophonist. A little Bingo adds an unexpected turn to dinner before a fire show brings the evening to a fiery finish.
