ELLE Sessions

Integrated Talent Program

Art Director, Miette L. Johnson. Creative Producer, Pru Waldorf. Photographer, Charlie Gray. Director, Daniel Burdett.

ELLE Sessions is all about championing the hottest up-and-coming musical talent, using our broad 360° platform and exceptional roster of creative makers to introduce new sounds to our readership. Catching now established artists on their rise to the top of the charts, we captured exclusive acoustic sessions with performers such as Charlie XCX, A*M*E, and Foxes, sharing their sound across our print and digital channels, as well as through live events.

Each artist was captured in a dedicated photoshoot, interview and article for the print issue of ELLE. In a uniquely London setting, we produced acoustic sessions of their stand-out tracks, cresting exclusive music videos which were integrated into our digital platforms and connected through social media. Readers were offered the chance to win tickets to secret gigs, where our #ELLESessions talent performed an intimate show to a fashionable crowd.

Descending on London’s Apartment 58 for an intimate evening, the low lighting and eclectic furniture provided the perfect backdrop for an exclusive #ELLESessions performance
