Who Are The Assoulines? Meet The Chic First Family Of Luxury Publishing

With its volumes spotlighting glamorous destinations, cultural and creative icons, fashion histories, interior design, and more, it's no wonder the haute publishing house has become a favorite among the well-to-do. But members of the social set don't just show off those Assouline spines (which can reach upwards of $10,000) on their shelves, they also help to produce them. Everyone from Lee Radziwill to Lauren Santo Domingo have partnered up with the brand to author their own chic chronicles. Indeed, putting out a book with Assouline might be the ultimate status symbol.
