Born In Essex in 1929, David Hicks has become my ultimate interior designer and of course one of my favourite dapper gents from all times. As classy for his work as for his innate elegant style, David Nightingale Hicks became the decorator of the decade during the 60´s using his panache for properties of jet setters from all over the world. His claim to fame was, without a doubt, his well trained eye for colour clashing and the ability to mix old British style with contemporary Scandinavian objects. Famous also for his bold geometric prints, even Christopher Bailey dedicated a whole collection in Spring Summer '06 for Burberry Prorsum.His death in 1998 left us heartbroken, pretty much like the way he died, a heart stroke and lung cancer left us without one of the dictators of refined good taste with a stroke of genius!
