Allure (magazine)
Allure (stylized in all lowercase) is an American women's fashion magazine focused on beauty, published monthly by Condé Nast in New York City. It was founded in 1991 by Linda Wells. Michelle Lee replaced Wells in 2015. A signature of the magazine is its annual Best of Beauty awards—accolades given in the October issue to beauty products deemed the best by Allure's staff.
In 1990, S.I. Newhouse Jr., chairman of Condé Nast, and then editorial director Alexander Liberman approached Linda Wells to develop a concept they had for a beauty magazine. At the time, Wells was the beauty editor and the food editor at The New York Times Magazine.
The magazine's prototype was shredded shortly before the scheduled launch date and, after overhauling everything (including the logo), Allure made its debut in March 1991 designed by Lucy Sisman. The magazine's original format was oversize, but this prevented it from fitting into slots at grocery-store checkouts and required advertisers to resize their ads or create new ones. After four issues, Allure changed to a standard-size glossy format.
In August 2022, Conde Nast announced the December issue would be the last one in print after which the publication would be online only. Allure employees unionized in 2022. Conde states, "It's our mission to meet the audience where they are and with this in mind, after our December print issue, we are making Allure an exclusively digital brand."
Note that American Allure still operates digitally.
Allure focuses on beauty, fashion, and women's health. Allure was the first women's magazine to write about the health risks associated with silicone breast implants, and has reported on other controversial health issues. The influence that Allure magazine had on society was impactful. Using publication to show the new beauty brand and other health needs.
After Lee took the helm in late 2015, the brand was celebrated for promoting diversity and inclusivity.[clarification needed] In 2017, Adweek named Allure Magazine of the Year and awarded Lee as Editor of the Year.
The magazine's circulation, initially 250,000 in 1991, is over 1 million as of 2011.
