Inside a Fashion Designer’s Unique Apartment in New York
Photographed by Nicholas Calcott1/17“The living room is the focal point of our apartment, and as a result, is the room most constantly changing and evolving. The sofa, which is upholstered in Bennison Treeflower chintz, was originally designed by my father, Robert Renzullo, for the British film director David Lean, but my mother loved it so much that she had a copy made for her study. It’s almost 25 years old. The large wasps’ nest above the fireplace was something we found in Connecticut, and Julian spied the big kilim rug at an estate sale in Litchfield. The painted daybed is French 19th century, with a cushion made from old ticking stripe.”
Photographed by Nicholas Calcott2/17“Our bedroom is filled with different works of art that have been accumulated over time. The English tortoiseshell mirror came from my childhood home, as did the delft tile table beneath it. Julian recently won the Leonor Fini watercolor on the floor at an auction in Geneva, and the walrus tusk on the table was something we purchased years ago on a trip to Montreal.”
Photographed by Nicholas Calcott3/17“The monkey print above the fireplace was a housewarming gift from my mother. Monkeys are Julian’s favorite animals. The jasperware jugs on the mantel were a Christmas gift from our friend Emilie Irving, who owns the terrific interiors shop downtown called Xenomania.”

Photographed by Nicholas Calcott5/17“Our bed was purchased at an auction in Maine and belongs to the Victorian Eastlake period—which Julian and I both adore. The lithograph above the bed is by the New Mexico–based artist and family friend Carol Anthony.”
