"Gazette du Bon Ton" is a fashion magazine that featured illustrations of contemporary women’s fashion. This illustration by Francisco Javier Gosé, a Spanish artist active in France, depicts a woman in a stylish gown. The woman is posed sitting on a stool, holding a hand mirror, and looking at her reflection. This illustration, with its sleek Art Deco lines and the bold use of color, exemplifies the high-fashion style of the early 20th century.
Comments
What set this fashion magazine ‘of good taste, art and frivolity’ apart was its unique collaboration with the artists who produced its illustrations. As well as drawing the haute couture of the fashion houses, they were also granted space in each issue to present designs of their own making. In each issue, three out of ten plates were reserved for such independent creations.
