Elle Girl
Encyclopedia
Elle Girl was the largest older-teen fashion and beauty magazine brand in the world with 12 editions and supplements worldwide. Launched in August 2001, it was the younger sibling to Elle
magazine, and similarly focused on beauty, health, entertainment and looked at daring fashion—its slogan: "Dare to be different".
Its staffers were informed in early April 2006 that Elle Girl (USA)'s last issue would be its June
/July 2006 Summer Issue, while they were already in the middle of working on the August 2006 issue, which is traditionally the largest issue of the year—covering fall fashion and back-to-school topics. The company intends to continue updating the ellegirl.com website and create new media in conjunction with Alloy.com, some of which will be exclusive subscription-only content, and has plans to publish biannual special issues. The British edition of Elle Girl magazine had been closed for business shortly before the American magazine was.
