SS 2011 - Daisy Lowe Swimwear

The frost's still on the pavement, but thoughts about the summer are beginning to appear in people's minds - after all it's only a few months and the sun will (hopefully) be shining and the trees will go green again at last.

Some sunny news this week was the announcemement of Daisy Lowe's forthcoming collection for Peacocks clothes - a range of swimwear. With inspirations including holidays on the French Riviera and fifties pin-ups, it's already creating a buzz in the fashion pages, and not just in the UK either - sites in Japan and Russia have also covered the story.

Daisy Lowe's fashion career so far has been in modelling, working for Peacocks on a series of best selling Pearl Lowe collections. Time was when you'd see models turn actress or pop star, and nothing wrong with that - but models becoming designers is a cool fashion phenomenon and Daisy Lowe's debut collection looks set for success.

The other notable aspect of Daisy Lowe's collection is its aim of complementing the curvier figure as well as smaller sizes. Looks like the beach is just about to get a whole lot more stylish in 2011!
