ELLE MANIFESTO
We believe…
- Style has no price tag: Those who have it make the low look high and the high look cool.
- We believe a well dressed woman with nothing to say is just a mannequin with DNA.
- We believe it’s not your personal style if it belongs to your stylist.
- We believe in fashion and all its glorious paradoxes: smart and superficial; exclusive and inclusive; fun and serious; art and commerce.
- We believe clothing without accessories is like a party with no cake.
- We believe in beauty, as both a science and an art.
- We believe age-appropriate fashion isn’t appropriate at any age.
- We believe in the fantasy of a glamorous life - and the reality of simply getting through the day.
- We believe in those who take issues more seriously than themselves.
- We believe in cute, smart guys who make us laugh.
- We believe neurotic behavior should be embraced and explored.
- We believe a fashion magazine should be more than a socialite scrapbook or celebrity shopping ledger.
- We believe cool is elusive and yet never to be chased.
- We believe in celebrating your sex appeal without letting it consume you.
- We believe the right pair of shoes can change your life - or at least make your day.
- We believe getting dressed should be an adventure, not a chore.
- We believe in the old guard, the new guard, and the avant-garde.
- We believe in ELLE.
