ELLE is now published around the world. With 42 editions in more than 60 countries, 5 continents and 23 million readers, ELLE is the world’s No 1 fashion magazine. ELLE’s first foreign edition was ELLE US, launched monthly in 1985 (in France, the magazine is published every week!), and it was an unqualified hit that forever changed the lansdcape of American fashion magazines. ELLE was the first fashion magazine to display any sustained interest in popular culture and the connection where high fashion and the street meet.That fashion was to be integrated into a woman’s daily wardrobe according to her own tastes and comfort level. Out of that grew ELLE’s unique modern message: Fashion (that which is current) should always be subordinate to Style, the very personal message that a woman send about herself. Style is about everything, from the way a woman lives, to where she travels, to her taste in music, art, food, cars, technology.

The ELLE style is a successful timeless equation and philosophy: – It’s all in the mix! – Style has no price tag: Those who have it make the low look high and the high look cool. – It’s fashion in all its glorious paradoxes: smart and superficial; exclusive and inclusive; fun and serious; art and commerce. – Clothing without accessories is like a party with no cake. – Basics reworked with bold accessories to create chic silhouette.
