    Fellow Sassy Minxes, please join Miss Lisa and I as we smudge our eyeliner and smoulder, in homage to one of Britain’s multi-talented creatives, Pearl Lowe.

    Pearl was the vocalist of Brit Pop bands Powder and Lodger in the nineties, is renowned for being the Queen of Lace – her homewares and dresses adorn Rock and Roll royalty and has been collaborating with Peacocks on a high street line of dee-lish prodz. She’s a mother of four, a writer, an ambassador for Action On Addiction, was a singer in the Britpop bands Powder and Ledger (as well as being wife to Mr Danny ‘Supergrass’ Goffey), and was briefly the face of Agent Provocateur – phew! With all this going on, it was great to be able to catch up with Pearl and talk to her about her collaboration with luxe lingerie label, Yes Master

    We adore the new pieces that you have designed for Yes Master because they are so decadently beautiful, was lingerie something you have wanted to do for a while?
    Absolutely! I love beautiful underwear, so this is something I am incredibly excited about.

    Who/what inspires you and why?
    People like Vivienne Westwood, Anna Sui, Alice Temperley; basically women that are building empires in the fashion industry. Louise Brooks, the twenties film siren for her glamour and decadent looks.

    What has been your proudest moment so far?
    I am feeling rather proud of myself at the moment as I have this wonderful underwear collection coming out in the autumn, plus my own range and a vintage style book next year.

    What 5 tracks would be on your soundtrack to life?

    ‘We’ve only just begun’ by The Carpenters
    ‘Asleep’ by The Smiths
    ‘Between the bars’ by Elliott Smith
    ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ by the Stone Roses
    ‘Happy house’ by Siouxsie and the Banshees

    What are your must-have, can’t live without fashion and beauty items?
    Repetto dance shoes
    Vintage 1940s tea dresses
    Coloured tights
    Shu Umura pale foundation
    Shu Umura red lipstick

    What makes you laugh and want to swing from the chandeliers?
    My daughter betty and her imaginary friend Zero.

    What’s your life motto?
    The past is dead, the future hasn’t happened, so one must live in the present.

    The super-duper ones at Yes Master have let us have a sneak peek at the new collection which is available at www.figleaves.com, Urban Outfitters  and one of my fave lingerie trousseau’s, Miss Lala in Covent Garden.

    The collection, inspired by ‘The Silver Screen and Rock N Roll Dreams”, is an eclectic mix of prints and vibrancy and I’m in love with three pieces in the collection – Polka Dot Betty-which is massively pin-up,  Dead Mans Ruin-mixing tattoo with girlish attitude and Belle Du Jour-a silky floral sensation will be sitting in my knicker drawer, because not only are they reasonably priced, they are made to fit my 34E’s too! I defy you not to fall in love……
