Over eight decades, ELLE has grown from one woman's vision to an iconic fashion and lifestyle media brand with a global reach of 250 million. Today, ELLE remains committed to empowering and inspiring women daily. This mission comes to life through print and digital media, cafés, salons, retail, fashion products, cultural events, hospitality and now private residences.

In 1945, Hélène Gordon-Lazareff returned to her beloved Paris to launch a magazine for the modern French woman. With its credo of "irony in seriousness and seriousness in frivolity," ELLE opened women's minds to diverse trends throughout the world and democratized fashion by offering inside access to the design and beauty industries.

In 1987, ELLE expanded its influence to the world of interior design with ELLE DECOR, which remains the ultimate guide to decorating and design and the indispensable, go-to source for everyone who wants to create a more beautiful life. ELLE DECOR has covered stylemakers, trendsetting interiors and must-have home furnishings from an international point of view for more than 35 years, with a suite of global editions that reach more than two million readers a month on five continents.

Trusted worldwide, ELLE continues to define a life of style, from how a woman lives and where she travels to her taste in fashion, music, art, food, cars and more.
