Elle (stylized ELLE) is a worldwide lifestyle magazine of French origin that focuses on fashion, beauty, health and entertainment.[1] It was founded in 1945 by Hélène Gordon-Lazareff and her husband, the writer Pierre Lazareff and first sold as a supplement to France-Soir. When women won the right to vote in 1944, Elle dived immediately into long-form "newspaper-like" features on women's role in national politics and the growing feminist movement.[2]

Lagardère Group subsidiary Hachette Filipacchi Médias began pushing Elle outside of Europe in 1969, launching its Japanese publication. In 1985, Elle launched in Britain and the United States.[3] In 2011, The Hearst Corporation reached a €651M deal with Lagardére to purchase the rights to publish Elle Magazine in fifteen countries including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia and Ukraine.[4]

In 2019, Lagardère sold Elle France to Czech Media Invest, parent of Czech News Center. Lagardère continues to own the Elle brand.[5]
