ELLE has been founded by Hélène Lazareff on November 21st, 1945.

The Russian-born, Paris-raised journalist had returned to France after several years in New-York working for major media titles. She began to develop her own concept for a women’s magazine whose key editorial approach was “ to open women’s appetites ”.

At that time Paris had been ravaged by the war. That is why the mission of Hélène Lazareff was so unique, bold and revolutionary: a woman creating a magazine that would be run by a woman. The mission was to provide women with exclusive and unparalleled access to fashion and beauty while maintaining a closeness to its readers.

ELLE was to be a magazine of bias and convictions, women were considered to be key players in society's evolution … motivating them to invest themselves in major issues, gain their financial independence. The cornerstone of the magazine was its underlying tone of “irony in seriousness, and seriousness in frivolty".

ELLE has democratized fashion. It was the first fashion magazine to display the connection where high fashion and the street meet. Helene Lazareff's unique vision has evolved into such a strong and relevant concept for women that it is a global brand today.

The international roll-out of ELLE began in the United States in 1985. It presently counts 45 editions around the world , with more to come. ELLE is the world’s No.1 fashion magazine network .

At ELLE, style is about everything. From the way a woman lives, to where she travels, to her taste in music, art, food, cars, and technology. In the 80’s the first ELLE ready-to-wear collection was launched in Japan.

ELLE has become more than a magazine.

Chanel S.A.  is a French, privately held company owned by Alain and Gérard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of the couturière Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. Chanel S.A. is a high fashion house that specializes in haute couture and ready-to-wear clothes, luxury goods and fashion accessories. In her youth, Gabrielle Chanel gained the nickname Coco from her time as a chanteuse. As a fashion designer, Coco Chanel catered to women’s taste for elegance in dress, with blouses and suits, trousers and dresses, and jewellry (gemstone and bijouterie) of simple design, that replaced the opulent, over-designed, and constrictive clothes and accessories of 19th-century fashion. The Chanel product brands have been personified by fashion models and actresses, including Inès de La Fressange, Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet, Vanessa Paradis, Nicole Kidman, Anna Mouglalis, Audrey Tautou, Keira Knightley and Marilyn Monroe.
The House of Chanel is known for the "little black dress", the perfume No. 5 de Chanel, and the Chanel Suit. Chanel’s use of jersey fabric produced garments that were comfortable and affordable. Chanel revolutionized fashion — high fashion (haute couture) and everyday fashion (prêt-à-porter) — by replacing structured-silhouettes, based upon the corset and the bodice, with garments that were functional and at the same time flattering to the woman’s figure.
In the 1920s, the simple-line designs of Chanel couture made popular the "flat-chested" fashions that were the opposite of the hourglass-figure achieved by the fashions of the late 19th century — the Belle Époque of France (ca. 1890–1914), and the British Edwardian era (ca. 1901–1919). Chanel used colors traditionally associated with masculinity in Europe, such as grey and navy blue, to denote feminine boldness of character. The clothes of the House of Chanel featured quilted fabric and leather trimmings; the quilted construction reinforces the fabric, the design and the finish, producing a garment that maintains its form and function while being worn. An example of such haute couture techniques is the woolen Chanel suit — a knee-length skirt and a cardigan-style jacket, trimmed and decorated with black embroidery and gold-coloured buttons. The complementary accessories were two-tone pump shoes and jewellry, usually a necklace of pearls, and a leather handbag.
