It is a universe of feelings, moods and atmospheres, blended together harmoniously by the desire to bring inspiration and beauty to every experience.
Every action is an encounter; it transforms everyday life into a tiny work of art, where imagination and reality unite.
The iconic Luisa Beccaria style combines dynamic urban energy with the spirit of the Arcadian countryside. It embraces memories of journeys and artistic references to curate a unique adventure.
Values
The Luisa Beccaria philosophy embraces
true craftsmanship, from raw materials to unique fabrics. The products are made with skill and professional expertise, the kind of collaboration that breeds sincere and versatile friends in the wardrobe, enriching life. All achieve superlative quality and ensure the lowest possible impact on the environment.
Sustainability is achieved through slow fashion, by creating shapes and styles that adapt to modern luxury yet remain timeless.
The brand’s language is evocative and poetic- eccentric at times. It aims to communicate the fragile yet strong, passionate nature of a self-confident, romantic woman, the kind who projects herself in all that surrounds her.
Inclusivity is also a key part of the research, as the dresses or objects are dedicated to all the world’s women.
These are some of Luisa Beccaria’s values. We strive to shape a new concept of femininity that condenses grace and strength.
Brand History
Luisa Beccaria’s aesthetics were perfectly defined at the very beginning of the young Milanese designer’s career. She exhibited her first collections amidst art galleries and wonderful gardens in the
centre of Milan. Light dresses, pictorial inspirations, frailty and luxury fabrics were the main features of an aesthetic lexicon which evolved over time, marking the pathway of the label’s growing strength.
It was in 1991 that the then-young brand was first invited to the Rome catwalks, and immediately afterwards, to the haute couture shows in Paris.
The first ready-to-wear collection was presented in 2001 in Milan mixing dream and luxury with the needs of everyday dressing.
Different types of women and celebrities fell in love with this bespoke, new-romantic, light, and sometimes fairy-tale style: Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Halle
Berry, Madonna, Uma Thurman, Helena Bonham Carter, Lady Gabriella Windsor, just to mention a few.
In 2006, Lucilla, Luisa’s first-born child, started to cooperate in the company. The “mother and daughter duo” was evolved slowly, and this alliance nowadays applies to the special lifestyle project, embracing different features and issues, mixing once again dream, art, nature in order to create a continuous dialogue between generations.
Fashion concept
Aesthetics and ethics are one and the same in Luisa Beccaria’s world. Eternal beauty is the inspiration. We believe artistry and creativity, when combined with our specially designed fabrics, prints and colours, translate to an ethereal vision of femininity. This new-romantic approach is rooted in painting, poetry and music. We believe this is the secret for both couture and ready-to-wear to come to life.

Lu Family
The Lùworld is the LùFamily planet. It all started on July 13th 1983 when Luisa Beccaria and Lucio Bonaccorsi married. Due to their love, five children came to life, Lucilla, Lucrezia, Ludovico, Luna, and Luchino. A new dynasty was born.
Lucio Bonaccorsi is an entrepreneur and farmer, with a strong passion for his agricultural properties, where he produces fully biological products. Castelluccio, the family estate in Sicily, was revitalized by the energy of this couple. Lucio and Luisa’s five children contribute and partner the family enterprise.

Lu World
Almond and olive trees grow on the Feudo del Castelluccio’s rich lands, an ancient fief and palazzo with a church and gardens in the Noto countryside. Castelluccio is the Sicilian family estate brought back to life by Luisa and her husband, the Sicilian aristocrat Lucio Bonaccorsi. In this exceptional place, genuine Italian delicacies have been created, such as the organic extra-virgin olive oil “Castelluccio” DOP.
A limited number of traditional houses are available for rent, both on the estate and in the wonderful Nature Reserve of Vendicari, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
Homeware Collection
Sunlight streams through coloured glasses, whilst fields of spring flowers, rendered in porcelain, form the table centre piece, all presented on an elaborate tablecloth. Beauty is evoked through both small and larger details, which create a dialogue between nature and the home.
The home is at the centre of Luisa Beccaria’s harmonious world. Its unique sensibility is not expressed simply through fashion and objects, but also through creating exceptional environments. The emphasis is on the tasteful and creative use of ceramic tiles and wallpaper and using traditional artisanal methods.
We are available for consultancy about houses, landscape and party design.
LùBar
Inspired by family holidays in the Sicilian countryside, Lucrezia and Ludovico, together with Lucilla founded Lùbar in 2017, a charming bar and restaurant in the Villa Reale of Milan. This evocative venue reflects the brand and family aesthetic – Sicilian recipes and Milanese dynamism combined with originality and modernity.
