== Early years ==
Cowan was born in 1960, the eldest of three children of fashion photographer John Cowan and Syddy Cooper. She grew up in Chelsea, London and was exposed to fashion at a young age, often posing as a child model for her father. In 1964, her parents divorced and her mother eventually married a broker at Lloyd's who took care of the family financially. Cowan has said that the loss of her father led to depression and eventually contributed to substance abuse. "Instead of blaming my father for his desertion, I idolized him and dreamed of the day he would reappear in my life. I would regularly abscond from the school in Sussex and take the train to London to look for my father. I was so obsessed with tracking him down that I would wander the streets of Chelsea, hoping to run into him. I never did."〔Becky Sheaves. "David Bowie Saved My Life!" The Daily Mail, 17 October 2006.〕 During that period, John Cowan leased his studio at 39 Princes Place to Michelangelo Antonioni for interior and exterior filming of the film Blowup. Her father's photographic murals are featured in the film. Her father also shot the title stills for 2001 A Space Odyssey.〔Staff writer. "On the Trail of the Swinging Sixties – 'Blow-Up', Antonioni's Cult Film, Hit Our Screens 40 Years Ago. Robert Nurden Goes in Search of the Places Used for Filming, from Notting Hill to a Neglected Park in a Little-Known Corner of South-East London" The Independent, 10 September 2006.〕
From the ages of 11 through 16, Cowan attended a Catholic boarding school, which she has called "a horrible experience," due to the abusive staff. During that time, she would often escape to the city to take art courses at the Victoria and Albert Museum as a way "to get out of school." When Cowan was 16, she left school and moved to London with her then-boyfriend, music composer Hans Zimmer. It was around that time that she learned from a family friend that her father had returned to London. In an effort to reconnect with her father, Cowan invented a false name and went to see him at his agent's office on the pretense that she wanted a job as an assistant.
“I walked in there and there he was. I hoped for so much to come from our meeting but I was in for the worst possible disillusionment. He laughed in my face when I told him I was his daughter and said he wanted nothing to do with me."〔 A year later, Cowan learned from her father's agent that he had died of lung cancer.
