In 1989, ELLE Japon (released on the 28th of every month) was launched as the Japanese version of the world’s most beloved fashion magazine, ELLE. The concept is “Open your appetite – live with curiosity”. These are the words spoken by Hélène Lazarev, the founder of Elle, when the first Elle was published in France in 1945. With fashion as killer content, we will deliver messages that invigorate women today and images of tomorrow, such as beauty, culture, and lifestyle. In 1996, ELLE Digital was born as the first women’s web magazine. ELLE Digital, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, continues to evolve in line with the needs of the times, and as a pioneer of digital fashion media, it updates an overwhelming volume of original articles every day.
