A LOCAL GUIDE

Greek photographer Lizy Manola captures the “cosmopolitan, timeless, effortless” appeal of the whitewashed Aegean isle where she spent all her summers past 40 years. Although Mykonos is framed for its pulsing beach DJ sets and pinot-fuelled private-members’ yacht parties, Lizy Manola shows the other perspective of the island: dazzling limestone architecture perched high on the hilltops and traditional Greek culture.

Located in the Cyclades and surrounded by the blue-green water of the Aegean, windmill-strewn Mykonos is often called the island of winds. This ancient island and those surrounding it, mythologized as the bodies of gods felled by Hercules in the time of antiquity, are older than legend and have played host to countless cultures for more than millennia. At forty-square-miles and boasting a population of only ten-thousand, the ‘Ibiza of Greece’ has become prized for gorgeous architecture, welcoming and open-minded locals, and fantastic beaches. With such names as ‘Paradise’ and ‘Super Paradise,’ the sands of these shores have captured the imaginations and hearts of industry titans, artists, and party-goers alike from all around the globe, marking it as a stable cosmopolitan destination and as a paramount it haven on the jet-set circuit.

Ever since antiquity, Mykonos has always been a party island. It is a place where hedonism is celebrated, there are no taboos, and the locals have always welcomed non-conformists.

ASSOULINE

The illustrated market has become integral to the worlds of luxury, fashion and design. Assouline has actively contributed to this growth by creating the highest quality book-objects whose distinctive graphic identity and editorial savoir-faire have captured imaginations, addressing new themes in a contemporary manner.  The brand, with its style and vision, is a true pioneer. Beginning in the mid-90s, Assouline brought the illustrated book market to life with products that were modern, luxurious and creative. Today, the luxury book market has become an indispensable tool for luxury brands.

Beyond “beautiful books” Assouline is invested in the promotion of culture. It has created the “first brand of luxury culture” where one can discover a world of good taste, excitement and intellect, where “culture can be acquired” within a luxurious environment.

We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library.
