Ink, Intuition and Innovation: Gazetta Through Dina Yassin’s Eyes

Imagine sittng at a coffee table, surrounded by the rich aroma of freshly roasted Ethiopian beans, engaged in a conversation about the latest fashion trends and sustainable materials. As you sip your coffee, another friendly gentleman smiles warmly, steps into the conversation and begins sharing the intricate story behind the creation of an organza dress, elegantly worn on the streets of Milan. You order an almond biscuit, and meanwhile the seat is taken by this exuberating lady who shifts the conversation to stories of startups and innovation, sparking your imagination about your own ideas. These intimate conversations, gently floating towards you from across the globe, unfold softly within the pages of Gazetta.—a luxury magazine crafted to speak directly to your heart.

Dina Yassin, the creative spirit behind Gazetta., describes its inception as a deeply personal moment of clarity. She saw an industry stuck in old ways, addressing an audience that no longer felt heard or seen. The spark wasn’t in glamour but in authenticity. Gazetta. wasn’t about exclusivity, it was about intimacy.

The world had changed, yet no one in luxury publishing was speaking its new language, Dina recalls. “It wasn’t just the sameness. It was the silence between the pages. The lack of soul. I craved something more fluid, more intimate. A platform that didn’t just curate exclusivity but invited people in. A place where creativity could stretch, where ideas could breathe, and where the little luxuries in life could be as meaningful as the big statements.”

So she started envisioning a platform that didn’t just showcase luxury but invited readers into meaningful conversations. The true luxury, she believed, was connection. And it was during this realization that she knew she was onto something special, especially when readers started to describe their experience as “conversation, not just content.”

At the heart of Gazetta.’s approach is Design Thinking, a methodology Dina embraced not as a trend but as a “guiding creative light.” Because Dina’s dream isn’t only to create another luxury magazine; it’s to lovingly shape a new kind of publication, born at the intersection of her readers’ whispered desires and the intuitive heartbeat of her editorial team. “When we began reimagining Gazetta. I wasn’t thinking about how to fit into the current media landscape. I was thinking about how to rewrite it.”

Empathy guided her from day one. She and her team focused intensely on one critical question: “What do readers actually want?” Through genuine listening, they identified a craving for authentic, reflective storytelling that resonated emotionally rather than just visually.

Gazetta’s Processes & Possibilities

Design Thinking allowed Dina to define the problem clearly: there was a misconception that luxury must remain distant or static. This intimacy with her prospect readers allowed her to find what was out there, not in plain sight, but hidden in the hearts and minds of people: “sometimes the real story isn’t in what readers say, it’s in what they linger on, skip past, or quietly screenshot at 2 a.m.”

Challenging the old traditions in media publishing, Gazetta. blended AI with human intuition, prototyping groundbreaking content like the AI-assisted yet human-curated covers featuring EVVIE 7, Jad & Mimi. These weren’t mere experiments; they represented a new philosophy. Dina describes it as creating “real-time storytelling,” precisely capturing the mood and moment readers experience daily.

Dina’s team, spreading across six countries, balances technology with human instinct and personal stories. EVVIE 7, Gazetta.’s AI journalist, acts like a “cultural meteorologist,” alerting them to emerging trends and subtle shifts in digital body language. But, Dina emphasizes, “data doesn’t make magic, people do.” It’s this unbelievebal mix between AI and the emotional intelligence of her team that sets Gazetta. apart.

Reflecting on the future, Dina imagines Gazetta. not necessarily bigger, but sharper, deeper, and more intentional. She pictures a space where each interaction feels intentional, sensory, and uniquely personal. She believes luxury publishing’s future isn’t loud but thoughtful, marked by subtle boldness and undeniable authenticity.

“We’re not chasing everyone’s attention. We’re showing up exactly where we’re meant to be, in those beautiful, fleeting moments where design, conversation, and culture intersect. In five years? I don’t see Gazetta. as bigger. I see it as sharper. Softer in the right places. A little bolder. A little quieter. The kind of platform that makes you feel like you just discovered something rare and somehow, like it was already yours.”
