Daria Reina is a French-Italian photographer and coolhunter who has been working as a creative director, designer, and communications consultant for the luxury industry for more than twenty years. An art and content curator for luxury hotels, she loves to conceive and give life to projects to share and convey her sense of art, beauty, and style in every possible way. In 2020, she received the prestigious Irene Brin Prize by the Accademia Costume & Moda of Rome.
Andrea Ferolla is an Italian creative director, illustrator, and artist renowned for his evocative and timelessly romantic paintings and sketches. His distinctive style, characterized by swift yet sophisticated strokes, captures the elegance, gestures, and attitudes of his subjects with remarkable fluidity. Ferolla’s work has been exhibited at the London Fashion Illustration Gallery and Gray MCA, in both London and New York, earning recognition in prominent Italian and international fashion publications.
Together, Reina and Ferolla have co-founded Chez Dede, a brand that blends design, fashion, and artistic expression. Ferolla’s illustrations are prominently featured across Chez Dede’s accessories and interiors collections and showcased in the brand’s atelier- showroom in Rome and select international boutiques. In 2018, Reina’s photography and Ferolla’s illustrations were published together in Assouline’s Italian Chic, an evocative journey through Italy.

THE ART OF LUXURY BOOKMAKING
Since its beginnings in 1994, Assouline has been dedicated to creating books that are as informational as they are beautiful works of art. The respect for the product and the process of creation is evident in every facet – the traditional technique of hand-binding covers, the imagery that transports the reader to another place and time, the luxurious thickness of each page.
