Inspiration

Raffaele's "A Holiday to Remember" collection follows modern women through European travels. Summer florals and soft colors create lightweight silhouettes that mix crisp cotton, Italian knitwear, and sheer fabrics. These pieces serve independent, travel-loving women who appreciate both femininity and practical vacation wear that transitions easily from day to evening.

Background

Milan-based designer from Max Mara and Emilio Pucci. Directed Missoni womenswear and La Perla designs. Created costumes for Beyoncé's tour, Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner's campaigns, and Jolin Tsai's red carpet looks.

Raffaele Ascione, now based in Milan, built his career through significant roles at prestigious Italian houses. After developing his foundation at Max Mara with their disciplined camel-colored aesthetics, he mastered iconic psychedelic prints at Emilio Pucci. At Missoni, he directed the women's line and VIP services, elevating their world-famous wave stripes to new dimensions—transforming colorful lines into patterns reminiscent of swaying palm leaves and incorporating elements inspired by the golden details of Venetian carnival masks.

During his tenure as La Perla's design director, Ascione developed a precise sculptural language through his designs. His technical mastery allowed him to create lace that functioned as a second skin and silk robes with architectural precision that moved like flamenco skirts. His client list includes major celebrities—Jolin Tsai wore his floral lace designs that mimicked musical notes on the Weibo Night red carpet, Kendall Jenner appeared in his silk printed dresses for surreal floral campaign imagery, and Beyoncé performed in his crystal-embellished stage costumes with neon stripes during her world tour.

His "A Holiday to Remember" collection with Fabrique tells the story of modern urban women escaping to explore Europe. The designs translate Venice's stained glass windows into dreamlike dress silhouettes and deconstruct Amalfi Coast's summer blooms into digital prints—hibiscus pinks and bougainvillea purples blending on sheer fabrics, each fold capturing traces of sea breeze. These vacation-inspired pieces serve as soft yet unconquerable armor for modern women, designed to transition seamlessly from boardroom meetings to sunset strolls on foreign streets, allowing the skirt to bloom into its most liberated form.
