"Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, a filmmaker and fashion industry veteran, grew up on New York's Upper East Side. The daughter of Veronica Hearst, one of her era's most stylish society swans, she was raised in a lavish Fifth Avenue apartment designed by Renzo Mongiardino featuring columns, tapestries, and Old Master paintings. "I had the great honor of spending many afternoons with him," she says of the legendary decorator."
"Now a documentary producer (the Emmy-nominated Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge was a recent project), these days she lives in an 1820s Federal-style Greenwich Village town house with her husband and their three children. "Mongiardino's theatrical layering, Ponti's modernist optimism, and Frank's restrained elegance formed the foundation of my aesthetic vocabulary. They taught me that design, like filmmaking, is about creating dialogue between history and modernity, intellect and emotion, comfort and beauty.""
Fabiola Beracasa Beckman grew up on New York's Upper East Side in a Fifth Avenue apartment designed by Renzo Mongiardino, surrounded by columns, tapestries, and Old Master paintings. She collected Jean-Michel Frank furniture in her twenties, moved to all-glass modernist towers, and invested in The Hole gallery, eventually serving as its creative director. Her aesthetic combines Mongiardino's theatrical classicism, Ponti's modernist optimism, and Frank's restrained elegance. Beracasa Beckman now produces documentaries and lives in an 1820s Federal-style Greenwich Village townhouse with her husband and three children. She collaborates with designer Fernando Santangelo, blending domestic spaces with creative, layered design.
