Jo is joined by designer Pearl Lowe, to discuss her latest book Faded Glamour, which showcases her trademark blend of grandly romantic and cool rock ’n’ roll interiors.

Pearl Lowe was the vocalist for indie band Powder in the mid 90s. She's now known for her love of vintage interiors and fashion. In 2001, she launched ‘Pearl Lowe’, her signature range of lace curtains and cushions. In 2005, Pearl moved to the countryside where she began designing her own bespoke handmade dresses that were sold in Liberty’s and Boutique shops in London. A luxury children’s dress up collection that was sold in Harrods and Selfridges followed. Alongside her textiles work, Pearl has also designed interiors for many private clients.

In her latest book 'Faded Glamour', Pearl’s beautiful Georgian home is revealed with evocative photography, showcasing her trademark blend of grandly romantic and cool rock ’n’ roll interiors. Take a tour through the colourful 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 jewellery designer and so much more.

And whether you’re picking up or dropping off, Jo provides the soundtrack for the Taxi Service.
