Created in 1945, by a woman for women,
Hélène Lazareff’s vision was to reignite women’s appetite for life after World War II and to democratize fashion.
She changed the face of the press with her signature editorial voice, defined by:
“Seriousness in frivolity, and irony in graveness.”
With its pioneering spirit, ELLE has become more than a magazine —
it has become one of the most influential brands in the world,
since 1945 and forever.
