Description Although the name and the brand are entirely unknown in the Czech Republic, Ascher has been synonymous with fine textile design for more than seventy years in western Europe.
This book traces the story of Zika Ascher and his wife Lida, whose personal and professional lives played out against the dramatic history of the twentieth century.
After leaving Czechoslovakia in 1939, they built a highly successful enterprise in London that specialized in fashion fabrics.
