Daisy Lowe (born January 27, 1989) is a British model and DJ, the eldest daughter of fashion designer, Pearl Lowe.

[edit] Career

Lowe began modelling at the age of 2, and did some photoshoots when she was aged 12 and 14.^[1] At the age of 15, she was approached by a talent scout in Camden and as a result, she signed with New York modelling agency, IMG Models.^[1]

In February 2006, Lowe was featured in Italian Vogue, shot by New York photographer, Steven Klein, who also shot her in March 2007 for a W magazine pictorial called "Xurbia". In September 2006, Lowe modelled for the Urban Outfitters catalogue, appeared in French Connection print ads and was profiled in British Harper’s Bazaar. Lowe featured in an editorial in Jane magazine alongside fellow model Lydia Hearst-Shaw in March 2007, featured in Italian Vogue for the second time in May, and in August, posed nude on the cover of i-D magazine with her then partner, Will Cameron, photographed by Terry Richardson.^[2]^[3] She was also picked by Karl Lagerfeld to catwalk model for Chanel, and has modelled for Agent Provocateur, Vivienne Westwood, Burberry and Whistles.^[4]^[5]

Of the Whistles campaign, Lowe said, "The Whistles campaign was a favourite shoot of mine too. Modelling is a cool outlet for me to express myself, and fashion has always fascinated me. I love that fashion crosses into my other passions - music and art."^[6]

Lowe has participated in other fields, including being the focus of a BBC 2 eight-part fly-on-the-wall documentary called "Class of 2008".

[edit] Personal life

Lowe grew up in Primrose Hill, London, and stayed with grandparents to continue her education when her mother, Pearl Lowe, moved to Hampshire. Until 2004, Lowe was believed to be the daughter of Pearl Lowe's ex-husband, but a paternity test revealed that her godfather, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, was in fact her biological father.^[4]

At 16, Lowe said of the press, "A lot of the stuff that gets written is just complete, mindless bullshit. If something bad is said about any of the people around me, then we all have a conversation about it [...] Most of the time it doesn't have an effect on my life. It's annoying when teachers say they've read things about me, and my head of year takes me aside and asks if I'm all right [...] But you've got to deal with it. There's no point going to cry in the toilet."^[7]
