Born in 1962 in Casablanca, Morocco, Ariel Wizman grew up in France, where an early encounter with philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas shaped an enduring curiosity about ideas. He began his career as a journalist, contributing to Actuel, Vogue Hommes, and 20 Ans, producing programs for France Culture radio, and serving as editor in chief of Interactif. A DJ and one half of the electronic duo Grand Popo Football Club, he also became one of France’s most recognizable television presenters, co-hosting Tentations.06 on Canal+ alongside Stéphane Bern. He has performed onstage in a production directed by John Malkovich. In 2020, he acquired the French franchise of the Chinese lifestyle brand Miniso, expanding it to fifteen stores across the country. Most recently, he joined the founding editorial team of Esquire France, launched in spring 2026. Wizman is Isabel Marant’s music director and the author of Morocco, Kingdom of Light (Assouline, 2023) and co-author, with Harold Colbert, of Paris by Paris (Assouline, 2025). In 2015, Wizman co-directed, with Laurent Lunetta, the 2015 document Black Dandy: A Political Beauty.

This French concept embodies the art of knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. At Assouline, savoir-faire defines every creation: from the artistry of our covers to the meticulous detailing of our Ultimate Collection and the precision of every page. Each title is a journey of craftsmanship, from concept to creation, guided by our creative team and brought to life with the highest standards of design, photography, and production. Every book reflects the dedication, care, and expertise that turn an idea into a lasting work of art.

  • Handle with Clean, Dry Hands: Always use clean, dry hands when handling your book to avoid transferring oils, dirt, or liquids onto the pages and cover.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or discoloration of the cover and pages, or melt or warp the binding, compromising the book's integrity.
  • Store in a Cool, Dry Place on a Low, Secure Shelf: Humidity and moisture can damage the paper and melt or warp the binding. Store books upright and closed on a flat surface, away from heat sources. Heavy books placed precariously on high shelves or surfaces may cause injury. Do not use as a storage surface.
  • Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to gently remove dust from the cover and page edges.
  • Use Caution When Opening: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, as this may damage the binding.
  • Keep Away from Liquids and Food: Avoid placing books near food or beverages to prevent spills and stains.
  • Keep Away from Children and Pets: Large books are heavy and unwieldy and may cause injury.
  • Keep Away from Sharp Objects: Sharp objects can damage the cover and pages.
