Inspiration

Linda Asaf began her career in fashion design almost 20 years ago in New York City, where she shared resources with some of the world's most inspired (and inspiring) designers. She learned to sew at a Catholic school while growing up in her native Corpus Christi, Texas, and has always had an eye for the arts. It was a huge revelation when she realized she could create something beautiful and then wear it. She honed her fashion design chops at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Earning an MBA in Marketing and Finance from Columbia Business School, and then working for several Fortune 500 companies gave her valuable experience in the business world, but her creative side beckoned and so she began to pursue her passion as a full time endeavor. Inspired by her surroundings and everyday things, Linda Asaf creates classic, elegant designs with luxe materials that you can wear in many occasions. With high style retailers such as Nieman Marcus and Nordstrom's carrying her line, we can see nothing but a bright future for this unique and intriguing designer.
