Paris-born designer Emmett Ascoli is redefining street luxury one airbrushed stroke at a time. Known for his signature cheetah-print airbrush pattern, Emmett has built a cult following for transforming classic silhouettes into wearable art. This week, he unveiled his limited Emmett Worldwide x Timbaland capsule at the upscale Manhattan boutique Ava Galleria, drawing a crowd of fashion lovers, creatives, and curious onlookers who witnessed the rise of a brand quickly becoming one to watch.
Ava Galleria: Where Fashion’s Future Lives
Located in the heart of New York City, Ava Galleria has rapidly become a home for the fashion-forward. The boutique curates rare luxury pieces and exclusive independent designers whose craftsmanship matches the brilliance of high fashion houses. It’s the reason Ava has attracted the children of icons—Kiyan Anthony (son of La La Anthony) and Kez Sunday Udoka (son of Nia Long)—who frequent the space for its blend of exclusivity, edge, and cultural relevance. Emmett’s artistry fits seamlessly into this environment, making Ava Galleria the perfect stage for his New York debut.
A Live Exhibition in Real Time
What began as a standard release quickly evolved into a live art experience. Emmett didn’t just present the collection—he personalized boxes for customers on the spot, turning each purchase into a one-of-one momento. Mid-event, a guest passed him a random pair of Timbalands they were wearing “just to see what he’d do.” Without hesitation, Emmett transformed them into a masterpiece, painting his iconic cheetah-print pattern right in front of the crowd. Cameras came out, the room fell silent, and an ordinary boot became a museum-worthy artifact—solidifying Emmett as an artist who performs fashion, not just designs it.
A Technique Worth Romanticizing
Emmett’s airbrush style is more than a technique—it’s a slow dance of precision and imagination. The gradient fades, the delicate spots of the cheetah pattern, the controlled motion of each spray… all create a texture that looks almost alive. His work feels like Paris nightlife meeting NYC hustle, built on movement, discovery, and instinct. It’s this hypnotic blend that has made Emmett stand out not only as a designer, but as a visual storyteller.
A Brand to Watch
With the buzz surrounding his Ava Galleria debut and his growing influence in Paris, New York, and online, Emmett Ascoli is positioning himself as one of fashion’s next breakout creatives. His eye for detail and ability to merge spontaneity with luxury has made his brand irresistible to trendsetters and tastemakers alike.
Emmett Worldwide is rising—and the world is watching.
