Fashion Muse: Daisy Lowe

Daughter of socialite Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale (Yes, Gwen's Gavin), Daisy Lowe has made a name for herself in the fashion world. Modeling for big couture houses such as Chanel and Burberry and fresh off campaigns for Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, the soon-to-be-legal Lowe is recognized for her edgy, of-the-moment style and those big brooding eyes. Lowe counts the likes of Agyness Deyn, Taylor Momsen and previous Muse, Georgia Jagger as friends and they no doubt influence her style. She has had her own MTV documentary series in her native UK where she is far more popular, and has just released a jewelry line with Swarovski Crystallised. When her interests include acting and singing on top of modeling, you know this is one girl that's gonna be around.


Casual:
I noticed 3 major things about Daisy's style right away:
  1. The foundation of her look is the color black. She usually adds one colorful element like her bag, coat, or top.
  2. She doesn't wear jewelry much, or at all, based on the pictures. Instead, Lowe chooses to accessorize with trends such as a long skinny scarf.
  3. She loves black tights, leggings, or pants with her outfits.

Here's my outfits that I put together:

Dress, Herve Ledger; Blazer, Elizabeth & James; Tights, Hue; Mary-Janes, Juicy Couture.


Jacket, Balmain; Tights, Ariana's Boutique; Bag, Marc Jacobs; Boots, Alexander Wang.

Dress, Charlotte Ronson; Jacket, Marc Jacobs; Purse, shoes and bag, Forever 21; Eyeliner, Revlon.
Formal:

  1. Lowe experiments with color, fabric, cut, and patterns.
  2. You can always bet on basic black.
  3. Still no jewlery.
  4. Tights go under dresses.
  5. Black pumps, always.

What I've Got:

Dress, Matthew Williamson for H&M; Pumps, Christian Louboutin; Earrings, Tiffanys; Bag, Alexander Wang.

I love this look so much!! I feel like the dress keeps true to Lowe's style yet is something I would totally wear! The sequins make it party-friendly and yet, you wouldn't look totally awkward on a nice date or some other event. I love the rich color of the earrings and from the side view, the craftsmanship is impeccable! Also, I'm loving the AW coin purse. It's totally BA and it could toughen up a sweet look instantly! The dress is for sure a steal (H&M!) and I would totally save for the bag! The earrings are (Sigh) just a drooller for now.

Dress, 3.1 Philip Lim; Clutch, Chanel; Bootie, Christian Louboutin; Skinny Belts, J. Crew.

This is another look I'm really proud of! The shift dress is too divine and although I'm not very welcome at Barneys yet, hit up the local F21 to score something similar. I belted the shift so as not to lose your figure in it. And the booties are just too adorable! Again, $900+ outta range? F21 is the way to go!

Dress, Chistopher Kane for TopShop; Bag, Marc Jacobs; Heels, Alaia; Watch, Cartier.

My favorite part of the look is the heels! What about you?
