PIERRE-LOUIS MASCIA is known to be unrivalled 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.

Before launching his first line in 2007, in partnership with the Uliassi brothers, he was also the artistic director of the Première Classe show, and in charge of lines of accessories for Clergerie, Stéphane Kélian, and Arche.

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.

Since then Pierre-Louis Mascia has reconciled technology and craftsmanship, knowledge and know-how, in the design of original, emotionally-charged garments.

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.

Today Achille Pinto S.p.A. has a production site extending over 30.000m2, employing a workforce of 250 staff and enjoying a sales turnover in constant growth. Run by the brothers Paolo and Matteo Uliassi, the company is a supplier, distributor and licensee of leading names in the textiles and clothing industry.

Along with representing an important aspect of the company’s heritage, the upkeep and recovery of historical archives provide customers with an inexhaustible source of ideas, designs, jacquards, embroideries, effects and colors.

PIERRE-LOUIS MASCIA is available at these independent stores.
