Early in my career, I was lucky enough to have worked under a handful of truly inspiring women who shaped me as person – and as an entrepreneur. One of those women is India Hicks. India was born into aristocracy – her mother was the Queen’s lady-in-waiting, and she herself served as one of Princess Diana’s bridesmaids (sorry India, had to mention it) – and her life looks like most people’s vacations – she moved from England to Harbour Island where she fell in love and raised her family – but she still is one of the hardest working people I know. I had the privilege of working as director of marketing for her namesake luxury lifestyle brand as my last job before starting my own business, and learned so much about refining my own eye and voice, building a brand (subtly), as well as being a female entrepreneur (and juggling) under her tutelage.

India is perhaps the ultimate and original multi-hyphenate. Model turned muse turned designer turned TV personality turned author turned entrepreneur turned Podcast host turned advisor turned humanitarian (and I’m sure I’ve left out something in between), she has truly done it all – and done everything with her signature impeccable style and [Virgo] perfection. Oh, and somehow while juggling all that she’s also managed to be an incredible mother to FIVE children, while living on a tiny remote island (the charming Harbour Island). She’s been everywhere and knows everyone, but is still remarkably unassuming (and charmingly self-deprecating). It’s almost irritating that someone as strikingly and timelessly beautiful as India could also be the most charismatic, hilarious, and sharp person in the room, but that part’s true too. She’s an all-around badass with unmatched style, and I could go on, but I’ll stop myself. Read on to learn more about her travel style…

THE SET (as in, jetset) is a blog series that gives a peek into the travel styles of the jetsetters we adore and admire… Because we’re all a little voyeuristic sometimes – and who isn’t looking for a little distraction right now?
