PEARL'S GRAND DESIGNS

Pearl Lowe talks about her latest fashion venture, moving house as her children leave home and how an ADHD diagnosis has changed her life

- 

She is the Nineties party girl turned vintage-style guru and earth mother – and now Pearl Lowe is ready for her next adventure Speaking exclusively to HELLO! just weeks after the wedding of her daughter, the model Daisy Lowe to her long-term partner, the property developer Jordan Saul, the mother of four reveals that it’s been all change since her brood have flown the nest.

The British designer, 55, says: “We've got this big, rambling, 11-bedroom house that we bought nine years ago in Frome. Now that our children have left, we're empty nesters, so we've put the house up [for sale].

“It’s been the most magical house I've ever lived in but it definitely feels that it’s our time to go. We're ready for a new chapter.”

FAMILY MATTERS

Her eldest, Daisy, 36, is the daughter of Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale. Pearl also has three children – Alfie, 28, Frankie, 26, and Betty, 20 – with Danny Goffey, the drummer with Supergrass and her husband since 2008.

The star, who made her name in the indie bands Powder and Lodger before going solo, says she is happiest spending time with her family. “I'm blessed with the most eccentric, crazy bunch of people around me,” she says. “They're so fun and quirky. We're very lucky, because we really get on.”

In fact, Betty, now studying at the University of Bristol, has modelled Pearl's new summer dress collection, a handmade range with a nod to vintage silhouettes. “She’s got that look; the dresses and swimsuits look great on her,” the designer says.

Also close to Pearl's heart is her two-year-old granddaughter Ivy, Daisy’s child. “I love her dearly,” she says. “She comes and stays, and we have a lot of fun together.
