Loweth was raised between the small, quaint town of Stamford and the farm his mother ran “in the middle of nowhere”, near Kings Lynn in Norfolk. His father, an architect, died when he was young. After severe bullying he was taken out of school aged 13, raised without access to the internet, and did not return until he enrolled on an art course at Stamford College, where the fashion studios captured his imagination. “You have to become fiercely independent when you’re homeschooled because you won’t get anywhere if you don’t do work,” he says. “I realised I was good [at fashion] but knew I couldn’t do it from there. It was terrifying because I’d never been to a city before, and I’d never been to London.”
