Nina Garcia Toasts ELLE’s New European Editor-at-Large Hassan Pierre

Last night in Paris, Hassan Pierre was formally welcomed as the new European editor-at-large of ELLE, with a dinner hosted by editor-in-chief Nina Garcia. Held at the iconic Le Voltaire restaurant, guests included Zac Posen, Laurent Claquin, Gabriela Hearst, Rickie de Sole, Constance Jablonski, Amina Muaddi, Pierre Hardy, Constance Benqué, Laure Hériard-Dubreuil, Beka Gvishiani, and more.

“Being named ELLE’s European editor-at-large is both an honor and a responsibility I take to heart,” Pierre says. “ELLE has always been a beacon for bold, forward-thinking fashion and culture, and I’m excited to bring my passion for sustainability, design, and global perspectives to the team.”

Pierre is the co-founder of Maison de Mode, a luxury e-commerce platform focused on sustainability, as well as an advisor to the CFDA, and will be instrumental in defining ELLE’s coverage of culture, fashion, and the arts. He adds: “This new role is an incredible opportunity to continue pushing boundaries, telling important stories, and amplifying voices that reflect the diversity and vibrancy of Europe’s creative landscape.”

We are incredibly lucky to have him as part of our team.”
