Biography
The Gazette du Bon Ton (roughly translated to Journal of Good Style) was a small fashion publication produced in France by Lucien Vogel, and published in the United States by Conde Nast by the title Gazette du Bon Genre. It was founded by the top couture houses at the time: Cheruit, Doeuillet, Doucet, Paquin, Poiret, Redfern and Worth. The magazine strove to respresent fashion as an art, portraying fashion in a similar to the way that painting and sculpture are protrayed. The magazine briefly stopped publication during WWI and resumed in Spring of 1920. When the Gazette began to be published again it included other prominent fashion houses such as: Beer, Lanvin, Patou, and Martial & Armand. The Gazette featured essays and fashion illustrations, with the illustrations being the most prominent piece of the publication. Each issue included 10 full page illustrations, 7 couture designs and 3 illustrations inspired by couture designs.
