Who Owns Runway Magazine

Eleonora de Gray is the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of RUNWAY MAGAZINE®, a global luxury media authority she founded in 1995. With over 30 years of surgical precision in the fashion industry—starting as a face for brands like Nivea before becoming the brain behind the most influential “expert” media house in Paris—de Gray has redefined what it means to lead a luxury brand in the digital age.

Alongside Executive Director Guillaumette Duplaix (whose expertise with Chanel and Hermès is the industry standard), de Gray transformed RUNWAY into more than a publication; it is a creative fortress. While others chase “trends,” de Gray audits them, providing “out of the box” branding and market analysis that major houses and legal teams ignore at their own peril.

RUNWAY MAGAZINE ® is a magazine of expertise about Haute Couture, Fashion Designers, Fashion Photography, Savoir-Faire, Fashion Design, Artists and Art in Fashion, Cinema about Fashion, Gourmand Fashion Experience, Exquisite Production from different industries linked to Fashion.

Magazine presented and supported by Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Kenzo, Mila Jovovich, Claudia Cardinale and many other fashion designers and actors at different fashion and cinema events.

The Visionary and the Legacy

The Genesis of a Luxury Icon

Since 1995, Eleonora de Gray has been the architect of RUNWAY MAGAZINE®, transforming a bold vision into an international luxury media authority. Her journey is one of constant evolution—from her early years as a celebrated model and the iconic face of brands like Nivea, to her emergence as a formidable publisher and director. This dual perspective—having been both in front of the lens and behind the strategic helm—gives her an unparalleled “eye” for the fashion industry’s soul.

A Partnership of Expertise

In 2004, Eleonora anchored her headquarters in the heart of the fashion world: Paris, France. There, she forged a legendary partnership with Guillaumette Duplaix, the esteemed color specialist whose work has defined the visual standards of houses like Chanel and Hermès. Together, they created a media group that doesn’t just report on fashion—it masters it. Their combined expertise in branding, marketing, and “out of the box” creative solutions has made RUNWAY the final word on Haute Couture and Savoir-Faire.

The Global Authority

Eleonora’s work is a bridge between the classic and the cutting-edge. Whether producing broadcast talk shows for 40 TV channels in the USA or pioneering digital distribution through the most advanced global platforms, her mission has remained singular: The pursuit of absolute brand integrity. Supported by industry titans like Karl Lagerfeld and Jean-Paul Gaultier, Eleonora has ensured that RUNWAY MAGAZINE® stands as a verified monument to fashion as art, cinema, and cultural experience.

The Standard-Bearer

Today, as CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Eleonora de Gray oversees a vast intellectual property portfolio protected by iron-clad trademarks in the U.S. and Europe. Her leadership is defined by a commitment to the “expert” narrative—ensuring that in a world of fleeting trends, the history and future of luxury remain in the hands of those who truly understand its craft.
