His trademark use of electrifying color combinations, and mixing antiques, modern furniture, and abstract paintings became the “in style” for the chic of the day, including Vidal Sassoon and Helena Rubinstein. By the 1970s, David Hicks was a brand; his company was making wallpaper, fabrics, and linens and had outposts in eight countries, including the United States where he worked with the young Mark Hampton, and where his wallpaper was used in the White House. “My greatest contribution as an interior designer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Hicks book is THE book of the season.\" \u003cbr\u003e—Stephen Drucker, Editor in Chief, \u003ci\u003eHouse Beautiful\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"[A] lavish illustrated survey of the renowned British decorator’s work by his son...plenty of dish on Hicks’s glamorous life and times...\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"[A]n elegant volume that showcases Hicks' power to conjure up an entirely new atmosphere and transform a space into an enchanting oasis.
