A Designer's Life is a fascinating insight into the glamorous world
of Nicky Haslam, one of the UK's leading interior designers, who is
renowned for his flamboyant, opulent and elegant style. Nicky grew
up in Great Hundridge Manor in Buckinghamshire and was educated at
Eton. After a period working for Diana Vreeland at American Vogue
in the 1960s, Nicky went on to become Editor of Show magazine
before moving to Arizona to breed horses. He returned to England in
the early 1970s and began his career as an interior decorator in
earnest, setting up his company, NH Design, in the late 1980s.
Since then he has decorated the houses of rock stars and royalty,
aristocrats and artists alike - many of whom have become close
personal friends. Always on the receiving end of countless
invitations, Nicky has designed the decor for some of the most
glamorous parties for everyone from the Prince of Wales to Paris
Hilton. With its fresh, lively and spontaneous approach that
reflects Nicky's charisma, wit and charm, A Designer's Life reveals
the influences, associations, inspirations and achievements that
have been so pivotal throughout the course of his life and work.
Nicky Haslam has always been at the centre of things wherever he is
- at parties, opening nights, royal weddings - and has stories to
tell of crossing paths, and more, with the cultural icons of our
time: Cecil Beaton, Francis Bacon, Diana Cooper, Lucian Freud,
David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe to name
but a few. Redeeming Features is an exuberantly told and stunningly
crafted memoir: a compelling and wholly singular document of our
times.
