51 I n the early 1990s, Victoria Hagan ushered in a new era of soft modern design. It was a serene antidote to the previous decade — a breath of fresh air after years smothered in 1980s excess. "Gone were the hyper- theatrical, faux-à-gogo pretensions," writes journalist David Coleman in the preface to the new volume, Victoria Hagan: Dream Spaces (Rizzoli, $55). "The new buzzwords were clean, simple, modern, and honest." Some 25 years later, Hagan's pared-down aesthetic is as vital as ever, her elegantly restrained interiors perfect for second homes, summer spots, and city hideaways. The book features 10 retreats of her design, including her own Nantucket home. A vacation house in Florida receives a palette of cloud white and sand, punctuated with marine blue; an iconic Francis Fleetwood shingle- style beach house in the Hamptons gets a contemporary makeover with natural stone, woods, and brushed metals. In her own Nantucket getaway, she makes ample use of breezy slipcovers, cerused woods and weathered teak. Hagan, who is a member of the AD 100 List and the Interior Design Hall of Fame, is a 2017 judge for the Dallas PaperCity Design Awards (November 1), along with designers Alexa Hampton and Vicente Wolf, and architect Lauren Rottet.

ESCAPE BY REBECCA SHERMAN Victorian Hagan's Nantucket house Manhattan apartment Victoria Hagan T here are a handful of auctions we would stand in line for: Bill Blass' auction in 2003, and Yves Saint Laurent's in 2009 come to mind. An equally important upcoming collection on the block is that of French decorator Jacques Grange, offered by Sotheby's in Paris Tuesday, November 21, with a preview in New York November 6 through 9. The sale is a handsome mix of 20th-century design, photographs, 19th- century drawings, antiques, and Symbolist work, from Grange's personal collections, 150 lots in all. Grange honed his eye and amassed his collection while designing the residences of Princess Caroline of Hanover, Pierre Bergé, and Yves Saint Laurent, Paloma Picasso, Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, Lauren and Andres Santo Domingo, and Tobias Meyer, among others. Housed in his Palais-Royal apartment, the collection features works by Fernand Leger, Alberto and Diego Giacometti, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst, Donald Judd, Eileen Gray, Paul Klee, Matisse, Miró, Calder, and a legion of other great artists. The provenance of many of the antiques and decorative pieces is equally gilded — André Breton, Marie-Laure de Noailles, and Yves Saint Laurent, to name but a few. The catalog is available online at sothebys.com or through Sotheby's iPad Catalogue app. Can't be in Paris? View the auction live online and bid in real time through Sotheby's BidNow program.
