Marie Claire Ownership and Stucture


Marie Claire is a monthly woman’s magazine, first published in France in 1937. The magazine covers topics like health, beauty and fashion topics. Jean Prouvost created the first issue in 1997, which was distributed every Wednesday. The German occupation authorities in France stopped the distribution of most magazines, and Marie Claire was one of them. The magazine was redistributed in 1954. It became a monthly publication. Prouvost retired in 1976 and his daughter Évelyne took over the magazine, which she then added L’Oreal group to the company. The magazine is distributed in 24 languages. You can find the magazine online or you can buy it from a shop. Marie Claire is a multinational magazine because it has it's magazine in more than one country.
