History and profile

L'Illustré was first published in Romandie on 10 September 1921.[1][2] The magazine was printed and published in Zofingen. During its initial phase the magazine covered French translations of the articles published in the Swiss German magazine SIZ.[2] Over time it had its own editorial profile, leaving its German focus.[2]

L'Illustré is part of the Ringier AG and is based in Lausanne.[1][3] The magazine is published on a weekly basis by L'illustré publishing.[3] Michel Jeanneret is the editor-in-chief.[3] In December 2014 Ringier AG and Axel Springer SE reported that they would establish a new joint venture under the name of Ringier Axel Springer Medien Schweiz and that L'Illustré would be part of this company among the other publications.[4]

L'Illustré is a popular magazine, and covers both celebrity portraits and ideas for the families.[3][5] In April 2010 the magazine was redesigned.[6] Its coverage expanded to include sections about travel, fashion, beauty, wellness and food in addition to those on celebrities, current events, cars and decoration among the others.[6]
