History

[edit]

Hélène Gordon-Lazareff, Russian-born and Paris-raised, started Elle in Paris in the immediate aftermath of World War II. It was first sold as a supplement to France-Soir, edited at the time by Hélène's husband, Pierre Lazareff. Hélène, Elle's pioneering founder, returned to Paris from New York City to create a unique publication that grappled with the many forces shaping women's lives in France in 1945.[11] Women won the right to vote in 1944,[12] and Elle dove immediately into long-form "newspaper-like" features on women's role in national politics and the growing feminist movement.[13] Elle would "celebrate a new type of woman: independent, modern, active, comfortable in her own skin and her time".[2] The first issue of Elle France was published on 21 November 1945[14] featuring Yolande Bloin on the cover dressed by Elsa Schiaparelli. Bloin was an actress in Jacques Becker's film Falbalas.[15] The magazine had a circulation of 110,000 copies in 1945.[2]

In the Elle articles featuring rising fashion designers, the magazine would provide free patterns of some of their fashion pieces. This allowed the general public to experience haute couture as the glamour of the fashion world was becoming accessible to the common working class.[16]

Its 100th issue, published on 14 October 1947,[17] featured the work of Christian Dior just eight months after his debut show. Likewise, Brigitte Bardot had her first Elle cover at age 17, on 7 January 1952, months before her screen debut in Manina, the Girl in the Bikini.

On 2 April 1956, Grace Kelly appeared on the cover of Elle France, a few days before her marriage to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco.[15] On 16 July 1956, Elle France featured Marilyn Monroe on the cover.[15]

By the 1960s, Elle had a readership of 800,000 across France and was said to "not so much reflect fashion as decree it." This dominance was reflected in the famous slogan: "Si elle lit elle lit Elle (If she reads, she reads Elle)" (lit. "If she reads she reads She").[18]

In 1987, Elle Decoration was launched in France by the Lagardère Group.

In 1995, the magazine circulated 5 million copies worldwide.[19]

In 2011, Hearst Corporation reached a €651M deal with Lagardère to purchase the rights to publish Elle Magazine in fifteen countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, and Ukraine.[20] Lagardère, which struggled in the international market in the 2000s, retained the rights to the French edition and would collect royalties from the international editions.[21] By retaining ownership of the Elle brand in France and through licensing forms in 25 countries, Lagardère remained "the guarantor of brand consistency".[22] The strategic decisions on Elle concerning the countries managed by Hearst would be "taken in close consultation" with Lagardère.[22]

In April 2018, Lagardère sold Elle France to Daniel Křetínský via his holding company, Czech Media Invest (CMI), parent of Czech News Center.[23] Lagardère, as a subsidiary of Bolloré family-owned Louis Hachette Group, continues to own the Elle brand in France and internationally by granting a "license for the exploitation of magazines".[23][24]

At the end of 2021, Elle announced that all global editions would ban fur from their pages as of 1 January 2023, citing "a really great opportunity to increase awareness for animal welfare, bolster the demand for sustainable and innovative alternatives and foster a more humane fashion industry."[25]

Elle and politics

[edit]

Elle magazine, while predominantly known for fashion and beauty, has frequently explored political and social issues. Some of the key topics covered by Elle include gender equality.

Elle has published articles on combating gender inequality, showcasing influential women and advocating for equal pay and opportunities within the workplace. One notable edition was its "Women in Politics" issue, which shone a spotlight on female politicians worldwide. Elle has consistently raised awareness of women's health and reproductive rights. The magazine covered the global struggles for access to safe abortion services, notably in the U.S. following legislative changes. Elle has also addressed issues of social justice, including racial equality and LGBTQ+ rights. It reported on the Black Lives Matter movement, emphasizing the importance of representation and inclusivity within all industries.[26][27][28] In 2025, Elle announced in Italy the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize nomination for the sociologist Porpora Marcasciano (first transgender individual in history to be nominated to the prize), nominated by Dr. Tiziano Peccia.[29]

Staff

[edit]

Elle editors have included Jean-Dominique Bauby in France, who became known for writing a book after suffering almost total paralysis.[30]
