Laureen Rossouw appointed Elle Decoration editor

Rossouw has more than 30 years of experience in the media. She began her career working on TV documentaries at the SABC television, but it was in the world of glossy magazines where she earned a reputation as one of the country's top fashion and décor stylists.

She became décor editor and associate editor of House and Leisure magazine and has now been appointed editor of ELLE Decoration.

Rossouw says she's looking forward to taking over the reins at the magazine, and paid tribute to Karen Roos, her predecessor, describing Roos as “a great inspiration”.

“My vision is that the magazine will play a key role in establishing South Africa as a leading design destination,” she says.
