La Gazette du Bon Ton
The ''Gazette du Bon Ton'' was a small but influential fashion magazine published in France from 1912 to 1925.〔Davis, (48 ).〕 Founded by Lucien Vogel, the short-lived publication reflected the latest developments in fashion, lifestyle and beauty during a period of revolutionary change in art and society.〔 Distributed by Condé Nast, the magazine was issued as the Gazette du Bon Genre in the USA.〔(Antique Print Club, ''Gazette du Bon Ton : "Etes-vous pret?"'' (1913) ), re: "''Gazette du Bon Ton ..., published by Lucien Vogel in Paris between 1912 and 1925... and distributed by Condé Nast. Distributed in the U.S. as ''Gazette du Bon Genre'', both titles translate roughly as Journal of the Good Style.''"〕 Both titles roughly translate as "Journal of Good Taste"〔 or "Journal of Good Style."〔
==Elitism and arts focus==
The magazine strove to present an elitist image to distinguish itself from larger, mainstream competitors like ''Vogue'' and ''Harper's Bazaar'' in America and ''Femina'', ''Les Modes'' and ''L'Art et la Mode'' in France.〔Davis, (50 )-51.〕 It was available only to subscribers and was priced at a steep 100 francs per year, or $425.61 in today's money.〔Davis, (50 ).〕 The magazine, published on fine paper,〔 signed exclusive contracts with seven of Paris' top couture houses – Cheruit, Doeuillet, Doucet, Paquin, Poiret, Redfern, and Worth – to reproduce in luscious pochoir the designers' latest creations.〔 After World War I, a select group of other design firms were added to the magazine's repertoire, including the houses of Beer, Lanvin, Patou and Martial & Armand. However, the editors' choice of designers was arbitrary, and a number of the era's most prominent couturiers never contributed to the pages of the ''Gazette du Bon Ton'', among them Chanel and Lucile. The magazine's title was derived from the French concept of ''bon ton'', or timeless good taste and refinement.〔
The ''Gazette du Bon Ton'' aimed to establish fashion as an art alongside painting, sculpture and drawing. According to the magazine's first editorial: "The clothing of a woman is a pleasure for the eye that cannot be judged inferior to the other arts."〔Davis, (49 ).〕
To elevate the ''Gazettes literary status, the publication featured essays on fashion by established writers from other fields, including novelist Marcel Astruc, playwright Henri de Regnier, decorator Claude Roger-Marx, and art historian Jean-Louis Vaudoyer.〔 Their contributions ranged in tone from irreverent to ironic and mocking.〔
