For centuries, dogs have been part of our cultural fabric and the companions of chic individuals, from aristocrats to modern-day influencers. They embody sophistication and style alongside their fashionable owners. Throughout history, figures like the Queen of England and Coco Chanel have set the stage for dogs to become timeless symbols of luxury and elegance.
In a world where fashion, history, and fame often collide, Chic Dogs is a whimsical ride through time, showcasing our four-legged friends not just as pets but as true stars of history and culture, while capturing poise, elegance, and a touch of celebrity glam. From Maria Callas, the legendary soprano, strolling with her poodle, and Winston Churchill, who famously shared a bond with his bulldog, the book also features some of the most famous and unique relationships between iconic figures and their canine companions.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders' son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers.
