Pearl Lowe Bücher

Am Wasser herrscht eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre - sehnsuchtsvoll, nostalgisch und irgendwie tröstlich . Dieses besondere Lebensgefühl hat auch die Sängerin Pearl Lowe ganz in ihren Bann gezogen, und so erschuf sie sich ein einzigartiges Domizil am Meer. Die Inspirationen für ihren entspannten, Vintage-verliebten Wohnstil mit Brocante-Anklängen und ganz viel nostalgischem Glamour fand sie in den schönsten Strandhäusern an der südenglischen Küste . Diese einzigartigen Stiljuwelen präsentiert sie in diesem wunderschönen, großformatigen Bildband: vom Haus eines Antiquitätenhändlers, der aus Liebe zum Französischen einen eigenen Brocante-Flohmarkt in Kent eröffnete, über das eines Autors, der das Londoner Leben gegen ein Haus auf den Klippen eintauschte, bis hin zu dem Hotel von Freunden der Rockband The Libertines mit seiner kuriosen punkig-viktorianischen Atmosphäre.

“To me, an object that was once the height of elegance but is now a bit battered has far more allure than something brand new.” Pearl Lowe in The Daily TelegraphPearl Lowe has a passion for vintage finds with character—jewel-toned velvet sofas, hand-dyed lace curtains, gleaming lacquer cabinets—and these are the essential ingredients of Faded Glamour , a gloriously decadent and perfectly lived-in decorating style. With evocative photography, Pearl’s beautiful Georgian home is revealed, showcasing her trademark blend of grandly romantic and cool rock ’n’ roll interiors. Take a tour through the colorful living rooms, intimate bedrooms, and plush bathrooms of her creative friends’ unique homes. There are hand-painted peacocks and an emerald silk bedspread in the charming house of a renowned British fashion designer; bright contemporary paintings on the perfectly rustic plaster walls of Hauser and Wirth in Somerset; a rainbow staircase and vivid embroidered wall hangings in the home of an eclectic jewelry designer, and so much more.

Fulfilling a lifetime dream of finding a house by the sea, Pearl Lowe now brings her laid-back decorating style to coastal living with Faded Glamour by the Sea.

In the 1990s, Pearl Lowe was a singer in the hugely successful pop group Powder, a fashion model, and a friend to some of the most famous people in the world. A beautiful woman with a glamorous career and a family she adored, Pearl had it all. But soon she began taking an increasingly potent string of drugs and drinking to excess. As her family and body crumbled around her, Pearl realized she had to make a choice: confront the demons, get clean, and have her life back, or give up and slip further into addiction. Pearl made her choice: these days she lives with her children and husband in the British countryside and designs her own clothing line. Inspiring and riveting, this is the autobiography of a woman who almost failed to escape a world that is relentless in its destructiveness despite its scintillating appearance.
