Numéro’s 25th anniversary party with Babeth Djian and Paul-Emmanuel Reiffers

On December 12th, 2024, Babeth Djian, founder and director of Numéro Magazine, and Paul-Emmanuel Reiffers, president of Numéro and of Mazarine Group, invited a host of celebrities, luxury houses and fashion brands for an exceptional night to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the magazine.

Under the splendid ceilings of Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild in Paris, all the friends and talents who have supported and collaborated with the magazine gathered for an evening celebrating love and joy with cocktails and glasses of champagne.

After a musical performance by Mahaut Mondino, Babeth Djian and Paul-Emmanuel Reiffers talked hand in hand about their shared history and that of the magazine, which are inseparable. Founded in 1999 as “a declaration of love to the world and to the creations that make it more beautiful every day”, Numéro has been scouting out tomorrow’s figures and creative talents from all fields, such as fashion, music, film, art, or design, and fostering a desire to think outside the box, holding freedom and boldness as their core values for 25 years.

The magazine’s unique editorial line, to which Paul-Emmanuel Reiffers immediately identified when he took over the magazine and embarked on this wild, exciting adventure with his teams in 2014, has been well-preserved thanks to the strong convictions and benevolence of Babeth Djian for over two decades now.
