Pierre-Louis Mascia is known to be unchallenged in the art of mixing, superimposing and combining prints: he does so with amazing freedom and a pronounced graphic sense, which he probably developed on his first jobs as fashion illustrator for magazines such as Vogue USA and Elle. His connection with Achille Pinto, an Italian firm developing prints, was decisive and gave birth to a collection of scarves, soon to be followed by a prêt à porter line under his own name. Pierre-Louis Mascia uses collage to create intricate patterns of surprising visual clarity which he prints allover wearable items. The upkeep and recovery of historical archives provide customers with an inexhaustible source of ideas, designs, jacquards, embroideries, effects and colours.
