PIERRE-LOUIS MASCIA

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 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.

About the Association Francis Hallé

At the initiative of botanist Francis Hallé, renowned for his work on primary forests, the association works towards the creation of a vast natural zone on a European scale – about 70,000 hectares (700 km²) – in which an undisturbed forest will evolve autonomously, renewing and developing its fauna and flora without any human intervention over a period of several centuries. This land, which is in the process of being located, will be cross-border with a portion in France and another portion in Belgium or Germany.

This scarf is printed in a limited, numbered edition of 100. $100 from each sale of this scarf from January 7, 2024 to September 27, 2024 will be donated to the Association Francis Hallé. There will be a maximum donation of $10,000.
