"Good taste in design by no means depends on money." So said the late David Hicks, the ultra influential interior designer who's wit and style is still echoed and emulated by many a designer at work today. Apples, as they say, don't fall far from the tree, which is why it's no surprise that his daughter, India Hicks is a triple threat - author/model/designer - in her own right. Her latest endeavour is a collaboration with Crabtree & Evelyn on India Hicks Island Living, inspired by her own sense of style (think a kicked back and relaxed version of Colonial) and shown to gorgeous effect in her book Island Life, available here.
I love the look of the packaging on the Island Night candle; the sculpted silver coral is a sophsiticated touch. Ms Hicks worked on the design as well as the scent - and yes, it smells mah-vellous.
