Hello! Magazine 1376 Vorige editie

When HELLO! magazine launched in 1988 it revolutionised the magazine industry and established itself as a publishing phenomenon. From its modest beginnings in Spain, HELLO! is now published in 24 countries and 11 languages. It may be a world-renowned title now, but publisher Antonio Sanchez Gomez originally launched the magazine with the name HOLA! from their own living rooms.

The first issue featured an unprecedented personal photoshoot, along with an in-depth interview with Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace. This then set the tone for the glamorous, but always respectful coverage of royalty, Hollywood stars and high society figures.

Lavish and personal celebrity photoshoots in-house was a first in the UK, this gave readers a sense of intimacy and as if they were really inside the celebrities home. This rare insight into a celebrity home and life went down a storm with readers, which in turn, helped grow HELLO!’s loyal fan base.

HELLO! magazine pioneered the concept of a celebrity wedding exclusive, as well as celebrity baby exclusives.
