The pair, who arrived in Britain at the outbreak of WWII, were innovators who pushed the conventions of British fabric design in daring new directions. They brought colour and vibrancy to the bleak face of post-war textiles, and with this, hope and optimism was conveyed through their work. They experimented with bold patterns and new and unconventional fabrics, including mohair, rayon, parachute nylon and cheesecloth, influencing top couturiers such as Christian Dior, Cristobel Balenciaga and Yves Saint-Laurent, and they also collaborated with leading artists such as Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Ivon Hitchens and Henri Matisse, to produce a series of iconic silk scarves. In 1987 the V&A in London mounted a retrospective exhibition of the Aschers' work, and published an accompanying book by Valerie D. Mendes and Frances M. Hinchcliffe entitled Ascher: Fabric, Art, Fashion. More recently, in 2019, an impressive publication The Mad Silkman: Zika and Lida Ascher Textiles and Fashion, by Konstantina Hlaváckova, accompanied an exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, paying a lasting tribute to the important contribution made by the Aschers to British fashion.
