India Amanda Caroline Hicks (born 5 September 1967 in London, England) is a former fashion model. She currently runs her eponymous lifestyle brand, which she founded in 2015.
Hicks is the third child of Lady Pamela Mountbatten and David Nightingale Hicks, an interior designer of the 1960s and 1970s. Through her maternal grandfather, The Earl Mountbatten of Burma, she is a second cousin to The Prince of Wales, who is also her godfather.
Brought up in London and Oxfordshire, she attended Gordonstoun school in Scotland, until she was expelled for entertaining boys in her room. She spent holidays at the family estate in Ireland and at her father's self-designed and built Bahamian-holiday home. In 1981, she served as bridesmaid to Lady Diana Spencer at her wedding to Prince Charles.
India has published three books: Island Life, Island Beauty, and, most recently, Island Style (which made The New York Times Best Seller List).
Aged 17, she drove from England to Italy to meet designer Emilio Pucci. On arrival, he made her model all of his catsuits. In 1990, Hicks graduated from the New England School of Photography in Boston, MA with a concentration in Color and Editorial photography and graduated with Honors. She later moved to New York City, and developed a career as a model in the 1980s and 1990s, working for Ralph Lauren and J. Crew amongst others, and featuring in Tatler magazine; she was also the face of British brand Viyella.
