NICHOLAS HASLAM :Born September 27, 1939, at Great Hundridge Manor, Buckinghamshire, England, third son of diplomat William Heywood Haslam, and Diana Ponsonby, grand-daughter of 7th Earl of Bessborough. Educated at Private School and Eton College, winning all major Art prizes. Attended Corsham Court Art School before training on various newspapers and British Vogue. In 1961 went to New York with photographer David Bailey and the model Jean Shrimpton, and was hired by American Vogue as assistant to Art Director during the editorship of Diana Vreeland. Two years later made Art Director of "Show" magazine, a forerunner of "Vanity Fair". At this time starred with Baby Jane Holzer in Andy Warhol's film "Kiss". Nicky Haslam returned to London in 1972, having been asked to design and decorate a townhouse for Lord Hesketh. This led to many further commissions, and necessitated the setting up of a fully-fledged architectural and design practice, NH Design, of which diverse clients have included, among many, Rod Stewart, Rupert Everett, Bryan Ferry, Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, a restaurant in the King's Road and a nightclub in the Dorchester Hotel, salons for the dress designer Bellville-Sassoon and the Emanuels when they were making the Lady Diana's wedding dress. He has also designed parties for The Prince of Wales, Lord Rothschild, Simon and Jennifer Murray, Sir Evelyn and Lady de Rothschild, Simon and Laura Weinstock. NH Design operates worldwide, having recently completed projects in New York, New Orleans, Barbados, and several English country houses, while currently working on sites in Moscow, Klosters, France, London and the country.
Never one for pure minimalism nor for over blown fussiness, a Haslam interior has exhilarating chic, and a touch of opulence that seduces entirely the moment you catch a glimpse. Like the masters of true design before him, Nicholas Haslam has an instinct and originality which enables him to make rooms look stunning and sexy, yet livable, practical, and above all flattering to their owner and their surroundings. The mix of deeply serious grand and impressive with glamour, charm and above all wit, is the Haslam trademark. Interior and Architectural design concepts .
