Pierre-Louis Mascia is known to be unrivaled in the art of mixing, superimposing and combining prints: he does so with amazing freedom and a pronounced graphic sense, which he developed on his first jobs as fashion illustrator for magazines such as Vogue USA and Elle. Pierre-Louis Mascia uses collage to create intricate patterns of surprising visual clarity which he prints allover wearable items. He seamlessly merges the achingly sharp and the softly organic in the same cadre, relying on sudden about-turns, unexpected parallels and optical duplicity. Pierre-Louis Mascia collections are crafted and distributed by Achille Pinto, an historical textile and printing company, based in Como: starting from raw fabric up to sophisticated finishing techniques each step shows technical skills and an attention to details led by a passion for “Made in Italy” artisanal crafted products.
