Elle is a worldwide lifestyle magazine of French origin that focuses on fashion, beauty, health, and entertainment.Elle is also the world's best-selling fashion magazine. It was founded by Pierre Lazareff and his wife Hélène Gordon in 1945. The title, in French, means "" or "".
Elle was founded in France in 1945. In the 1960s, it was considered to "not so much reflect fashion as decree it", with 800,000 loyal readers and a then famous slogan: "Si elle lit, elle lit Elle (If she reads, she reads Elle)". In 1981, Daniel Filipacchi and Jean-Luc Lagardère purchased Hachette magazines, which included the then-struggling Elle. Elle was then launched in the U.S. (News Corporation owned a stake in the US edition until 1988, followed by 25 other foreign editions). The Chinese version of the magazine was published in 1988, the launch was headed up in New York by the International Advertising Manager Lulu Bagnall who coordinated sales to American Advertisers. It was launched in Beijing at the International Flavor and Fragrance Foundation world meeting in October 1988 where a large scale fight broke out when the First Issue was presented for distribution. It was the first 4 color fashion magazine offered in China. The magazine was a joint venture between the Shanghai Translation Company (government owned) and Hachette. Patricia Wang was the first editor. It was to be used as an information and educational tool for the opening of the chinese textile market. The market was closed for so many years textile and clothing manufacturers had not a clue as to what the market would want them to produce for the wide world of fashion. Mao suits were still being worn. It is the only edition which is published twice monthly.
In 2007 the website of Elle was launched.
Among its past editors is Jean-Dominique Bauby, who became known for writing a book after suffering almost total paralysis.
