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.
Visually captivating and with a text featuring fascinating and fun anecdotes,
Chic Dogs is a delight for any reader, whether a lifelong dog owner or a simple admirer of these loyal companions.

About Assouline
We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library; we started working with top perfumers for scented candles, with Goyard for a book trunk, with Chanel on a quilted leather slipcase, and so on. Now we are expanding the Assouline lifestyle brand in stores in the most important cities of the world. We love and believe in books more than everything else, but we also want to extend our vision to create all that can be expected in a chic and personalized library, from beautiful books and special editions to luxury gift items, unique library accessories, and now a complete turnkey collection of stylish furniture. Our digital world goes faster than ever and nothing remains of it, but books are a solid part of our past and present. They are also beautiful. For us, books are a matter of intellect and emotion; heritage and innovation. Information is not only about today, and the past is a sensational source of inspiration.
