History

Jean Prouvost created the first issue in 1937, which was distributed each Wednesday. French readers flocked to newsstands to buy this early weekly edition, which was a huge success. However, in 1942, German occupation authorities in France stopped the distribution of most magazines, and ''Marie Claire'' was one of them. The magazine was not redistributed until 1954. At this time, it became a monthly publication versus a weekly one. In 1976, Prouvost retired and his daughter Evelyne took over the magazine and added L'Oreal Group to the company. Evelyne Prouvost died recently.
''Marie Claire'' US edition is now part of Hearst Corporation, based in New York City. Hearst has branch offices in France, Italy, and several locations in the United States such as Detroit, the West Coast, New England, the Midwest, the Southwest, and the Southeast.
Marie Claire UK is part of IPC Media, based in London. In 2006, it launched its website www.marieclaire.co.uk with daily news, catwalk show photographs and reports, fashion and beauty buys of the day, daily horoscopes and competitions.
