Hearst Buys Elle and a Bunch of Other Magazines Fo
 

French Elle will still be owned by the company,Dc Shoes Hats, and although Hearst will have control of all other Elle licenses,Red Bull Hats, Lagardère will still have a say in its branding. (Supposedly.)
As for the changes you’ll see at Elle,Germany Gets Its Own Grazia – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice, don’t expect many over the next year. The deal may take months to finalize. However, when it does go through, we expect a few major departures at the magazine. Not only will Hearst make some changes,Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Run,Ray Ban Sunglasses, but we’re told that many Lagardère employees have contracts that allow them to flee as soon as the deal is done. Which means those who have wanted a way out for a while will use this as their chance.
None of this comes as a surprise,Baseball Jerseys, since Lagardère made it clear around the holidays that it was in exclusive talks with the American media empire to sell off its foreign titles.
French media conglomerate Lagardère announced this morning that it would sell the foreign editions of Elle, as well as about 85 other foreign magazine titles, to Hearst for about $889 million.
Robbie Myers, Elle‘s editor-in-chief, once said to me in an interview–and I’m paraphrasing, because it was a long time ago–that the book’s uniqueness comes from the way it approaches fashion. Instead of thinking of fashion just as a medium, Elle sees it as a lifestyle,wholesal new era hats, and comments on how it affects other elements of our culture (from film to food to politics.) I’ve always liked Elle‘s intellectual point of view,Meet Our New Columnist, Stylist Sally Lyndley! – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice, and I hope this move to Hearst doesn’t shake it.
