Driven by insatiable curiosity, New York designer Peter D’Ascoli has traveled the world studying decorative arts. Formally trained in textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, his early work with handcrafted textiles for the Indian government engendered an enduring love of the art and culture of this ancient civilization. D’Ascoli prides itself on its artisanal, considered production methods. Each piece is handmade at the brand's design studio in India, utilizing both ancient and modern techniques such as hand embroidery and digital printing. Working with locally grown cotton and silks, the label creates its bohemian dresses and separates with an acute attention to detail. D'Ascoli pieces are inspired by a wide range of global influences – from traditional Japanese garments to American photography. Its flamenco-print, embroidered pieces and easy to wear silhouettes are ideal for your next vacation.
