NICKY HASLAM was born in 1939, in Buckinghamshire, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. He was educated at Eton, where he claims to have been ‘pretty useless at everything except art’, and, by the 1960s, was working in Art Direction on magazines such as Vogue in New York, before buying a ranch in Arizona, breeding Arabian horses, as ‘after all, who hasn’t wanted to be a cowboy?’ This was followed by three years among the movie colony in Hollywood. Returning to England in the ‘70s, he established himself as an interior designer with, among many clients, ‘the three R’s…. Royalty, Rock-stars, and Russians.’
