Don't Know Much About (ELLE's) History…

Almost immediately after marrying French media magnate Pierre Lazareff in 1938, Russian born Hélène Gordon decided against pursuing a career in that which she was educated (ethnography) and practically trained (two years studying Dogon tribal culture in Soudan). Instead, she embraced her new life as half of France's most celebrated journalistic power couple and focused on what she loved: fashion.

On the advent of WWII, the couple transplanted their young daughter (hers from a previous marriage) and lived for several years in Manhattan to avoid backlash against Pierre's politically controversial newspaper, Paris Soir.

A strong foundation

Fashion, beauty, lifestyle and the empowerment of women form the foundation on which the ELLE brand is based.

From the start, ELLE has sought to inspire women to change the world and develop themselves and their own sense of fashion, beauty and lifestyle. In doing so, ELLE has always believed that women should enjoy the best of what life has to offer while doing something meaningful for others.

Women's suffrage, the right of access to education and work, opening their own bank accounts… women’s empowerment has already come a long way, partly thanks to our own mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers paving the way. Even today, the topic is still relevant and has finally been fully embraced by the public for some years now.

The equality of women is an important issue that is also reflected in the historical values of the ELLE brand. With and through ELLE, women share their vision of the world and life: ELLE not only wants to inspire women about fashion, beauty and lifestyle, but also encourage them to be themselves and to love who and how the
