NETWORK CONCEPT
More than a fashion magazine, ELLE is a style magazine. It creates a link between designers and real
women. ELLE not only features the latest trends and designer clothes but it also advises women on how to
wear them in their everyday lives. The success of ELLE lies in its mix of styles: from designers’ clothes to
high street, from luxury items to sportswear, from the latest trends to vintage style.
ELLE addresses women with a very strong and positive message: “wear it your way!” ELLE is therefore all
about style, the ELLE style: daring women to play with their femininity, to feel free to create their own style and
to enjoy life, or in 3 words; to be “SEXY STYLISH SPIRITED”. ELLE creates a very strong relationship with
it’s readers by showing them how to mix styles and how to create their own look. ELLE does not dictate
but provides inspiration, and introduces the reader to new ideas.
NETWORK TARGET
The ELLE network reaches 21 million women each month. These women are young and wealthy experts in
fashion and beauty. They are modern women, ahead of socio-cultural changes, curious and open-minded,
and have a strong relationship with Elle magazine.

COMPETITORS
ELLE is the world's biggest selling fashion magazine. It holds a unique position in
each market, combining the qualities of the international brand with the talent and
expertise of the local editorial teams. Upscale and influential it appeals to open-minded,
independent, decisive, ambitious and free spirited young women everywhere.
With its new positioning, VOGUE has become a specialist niche magazine.
VOGUE does not concern the "real women" in search of ideas and advice.
Aimed at modern women at an important stage in their lives : starting a
family, getting successful career. BIBA picks out and decodes every aspect
of society's changing trends and applies them with a friendly tone to daily life.
From the latest fashion and beauty trends to childcare and every aspect of
consumption, BIBA informs its readers and offers a concrete approach to
daily life.
Like ELLE, MADAME FIGARO is published weekly. However, in comparison to the other
upscale women magazines, MADAME FIGARO is not fully recognised as a feminine
magazine because it is the supplement of the newspaper "LE FIGARO". MADAME
FIGARO is a traditional and conservative magazine aimed at the French « bourgeois »
class. 57% of its readership is 50 y.o +.
The culture, leisure and celebrity sections are representative of its classical approach.
A magazine totally dedicated to a woman whose main priority are her family.
Like BIBA, COSMOPOLITAN is aimed at 25 to 45 year old women and is the
magazine for women's psychological well-being by putting her first. Much of the
magazine is devoted to relationships with men. The content of COSMOPOLITAN is
more light-hearted and is far removed from daily life.
COSMOPOLITAN has a narcissistic content with an ironic tone.
It offers the unique combination of major features and leading fashion and beauty
news. It deals with social issues as well as fashion trends - it anticipates, explores
and describes providing its readers with an innovative point of view. The involved
approach highlights serious issues around the world. MARIE CLAIRE defends
women’s rights and highlights their achievements.
