Daisy Lowe praises her mum Pearl’s designs for Peacocks as they “flatter the female form”

By emilyborrett on August 19th, 2011

Daisy Lowe has said that she loves her mum Pearl’s designs for Peacocks as they flatter the female form.

Daisy, who has modelled for Agent Provocateur in the past, is thrilled to model for Pearl Lowe’s collections because they flatter her curvy, feminine figure. She told Vogue: “I love the spotted dress because it’s easy to throw on every day for any occasion. Mum makes dresses that flatter the female form.”

The latest collection designed by Pearl Lowe, of which there have now been seven, consists of six vintage-inspired dresses. Pearl has listed her inspirations behind the new designs as Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks.

Pearl said on the new designs: “In the 40s, people had to make their own dresses, so everything was so original and beautifully made. The prints, however, were inspired by my favourite singer Stevie Nicks. I predict the black dress with the white lace trim to be another sell out, as it’s a follow on from last year’s black dress with the lace collar that sold out in a week.”

Trend Alert: The skater dress

By Andrea Petrou on January 11th, 2011

The party season may be over, but that’s no reason to stop wearing our best, flirtiest dresses. And they don’t come much flirtier at the moment than the skater dress silhouette. It’s a shape that British designer Christopher Kane made famous last year with his ultra luxe designs for Versus, which showed at Milan Fashion Week (see above). In jewel-bright silks of red and bright blue, with nipped-in waists and hemlines that barely covered the models’ knickers, it was a disgustingly gorgeous look which was coveted by every fashionista worth their salt. And it’s still going to carry on going strong this year, as Erdem showed us their red and white lace dresses in the same shape for Fashion Week.

Whether or not you’re as leggy as a gazelle, this is a dress that can work well for you. It has the power to give curves where there are none, and accentuate curves even more when there are already plenty. If you’re tall and skinny, the dress will show off your pins to perfection, so keep your legs bare and glossy. However, if you’re smaller and curvier and not so confident about your legs, stick to a skater dress in a darker colour and team it with opaque tights and heels to flatter your legs nicely.
