Gazette du Bon Ton – Goodbye Tailleur Costume for the Promenade
1912
Step back in time to 1912 Paris, where fashion was treated as high art! In this chic illustration for the legendary Gazette du Bon Ton, artist Francisco Javier Gosé captures an elegant woman waving a dramatic 'Au Revoir!' She is decked out in a sleek, tailored walking suit, complete with a ridiculously long, flowing scarf and a massive fur muff decorated with flowers. This piece comes from the very first issue of the magazine, which revolutionized fashion publishing by hiring fine artists instead of photographers to showcase the latest couture. It’s a perfect, stylish snapshot of the elongated silhouettes that defined the era's transition into the roaring twenties.
