Dream Spaces

 Victoria Hagan founded her New York-based firm some 25 years ago in the early 1990s after graduating Parsons, where she quickly became the leading voice of a new era of soft modern design. Today, Hagan and her 26-person firm design elegantly restrained luxury residences and commercial projects across the country, including the Golden Door Spa in California, and the recent renovation of Number One Observatory Circle, the official residence of the Vice President of the United States.

Her second book, Victoria Hagan: Dream Spaces, was recently published by Rizzoli, and features 10 fabulous second homes of clients, from a ranch in Montana to a New York City penthouse, to her own breezy Nantucket home.

“These ten houses are a testament to the power of dreaming — of wishing on a star — to realize something special. That’s what a retreat is: a place where you feel like your wishes have been granted, where you can feel comfortable just being yourself,” Hagan writes. Her 2010 book Victoria Hagan: Interior Portraits is one of Rizzoli’s best-selling interiors titles.

Hagan is a member of the Architectural Digest AD100 list, the Elle Decor A-List and is in the Interior Design Hall of Fame, and designs furniture, fabric, and rug lines through her brand VH Collections.

As part of Texas Design Week Dallas, Thursday, October 25, at 4 pm, Victoria Hagan will speak and sign copies of her book Dream Spaces at Wells Abbott showroom, Dallas Design Center, 1025 N. Stemmons Freeway. For tickets to Texas Design Week Dallas, go to texasdesignweek.com.
