Ashley Jeanne Granata started her design career in high school painting and reupholstering furniture. This led her to study Textile/Surface Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and Chelsea College of Art in London, specializing in screen printing and stitched textiles. After 8 years learning merchandising and marketing at Bloomingdales, figleaves.com and Style.com, Ashley decided to launch her eponymous line of silk scarves. Believing the scarf to be not only the best showcase for a unique design, but one of the most communicative and versatile accessories.
