THE BRANDS
On November 21st, 1945, the Russian-born and Paris-raised Hélène Lazareff launched a modern women’s magazine that would become a staple in every woman’s home in France. The internationalization of ELLE began in 1985 and presently accounts 50 editions around the world. Lazareff’s unique visions were transformed into a concept so strong and relevant to women that it has become a global brand.
