Gazette du Bon Ton – Gust
1920
Caught in a dramatic gust of wind, a stylish woman in a flowing white dress clutches her hat while her massive dark coat billows out like a giant cloud behind her. This playful fashion plate, titled 'Bourrasque' (French for squall), was published in the legendary Gazette du Bon Ton in September 1920. Fernand Siméon captures the whimsical, liberated spirit of the Roaring Twenties, showing a tiny top-hatted gentleman looking up in amusement at the chaotic scene. It is a perfect snapshot of Parisian high fashion turning a windy day into a theatrical performance.
