Career

Music

Lowe was the vocalist of mid-1990s indie bands Powder and Lodger, which she fronted after a brief period at LAMDA, and as a solo-artist under the name Pearl.

Textile and Interior Design

Lowe is known for her love of vintage interiors and fashion. In 2001, she launched 'Pearl Lowe', her signature range of lace curtains and cushions. In 2006, Lowe moved to Somerset where she began designing her own bespoke handmade dresses and childrenswear that were sold to Liberty and The Cross in London. She has also designed capsule ranges for the High Street retailer, Pea*s. Alongside her textiles work, Lowe also designed interiors for many private clients.

In 2017, she launched a collection of bespoke dresses for women through the Pearl Lowe website. Lowe's womenswear collection follows on from the Pe*e Pearl Lowe luxury dress up collection of vintage inspired costumes. The range is circus inspired and is aimed at young girls and sold through retailers, Harrods and Selfridges.

Media

Lowe published her memoir All That Glitters in 2007, a sombre look at overcoming addiction. In 2013, she launched her first interiors book, en*led Pearl Lowe’s Vintage Craft, which saw her bring her styling advice to a much wider audience.

Lowe has contributed to TV Programmes, design columns and blogs. She has also appeared on Britain's Next Top Model and more recently in Channel 4's Four Rooms.

She was briefly the face of Agent Provocateur. Lowe was an amb*ador for the homeless charity Crisis, but is now an amb*ador for Action on Addiction.
