Marie Claire ranks 11th in our list of the most popular fashion magazines in the world. Hearst, the publisher, defines Marie Claire as “more than a pretty face. (…) Each issue is edited for a sexy, stylish, confident woman who is never afraid to make intelligence a part of her wardrobe.”
Ever since its first publication in 1937, Marie Claire has kept an eye on social issues and career advice (apart from fashion and style), and still does to this day. It began as a weekly edition, and although it took a break during the war, it was relaunched in 1954 as a monthly. It soon became an international hit and is now published in over 35 countries.
