UK interior designer and man-about-town Nicky Haslam may well have missed a trick when he worked at US Vogue in the 1960s under Diana Vreeland where he befriended a young accessories illustrator by the name of Andy Warhol. An interview in last weekend's Sunday Times describes how the young Haslam "unfortunately destroyed all Warhol's drawings as soon as he statted them". If Nicky had snapped up the sketches, instead of inadvertently dumping the drawings, would he now be sitting on a Warhol wunderkammer?
