Luxury periodical publications such as Gazette du Bon Ton followed in the footsteps of historic predecessors in promoting French fashion and standards of taste to elite audiences at home and abroad, and editors such as Lucien Vogel, who positioned Gazette du Bon Ton alongside the exquisitely produced, influential fine art, decorative art, and design guides of the time, became powerful voices reporting on fashion and appropriate social etiquette during a time of profound social change. The separation and cataloguing of individual pochoir from Gazette du Bon Ton has, over time, shifted the publication from rare book libraries to print, photography, and drawing collections and the classification of Gazette du Bon Ton pochoir as ephemera. This shift has limited our understanding of the complete publication. Prior research of Gazette du Bon Ton has focused primarily on the visual merits of fashion pochoir. This thesis attempts to redress that imbalance by analyzing the material components of Gazette du Bon Ton and reconsidering the vision of powerful editors such as Lucien Vogel in directing social narratives reflective of their time. v Table of Contents Dedication ii Acknowledgments iv Abstract v Table of Contents vi List of Figures vii-ix Chapter 1: Introduction 1-4 Chapter 2: The Historic Influence of the French Fashion Publication 5-14 Chapter 3: The Collaborative Networks 15-24 Chapter 4: The Finest Print Materials 25-36 Chapter 5: The Development of the French Publishing Industry 37-44 Chapter 6: Conclusion 45-49 Bibliography 50-54 Appendix A 55 Appendix B 56-59 vi List of Figures Figure 1: Textile production supported by the monarch 5 Sébastien Le Clerc I, Colbert Visiting the Gobelins, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Over time, individual pochoir were separated from their original publication and have been studied as singular interpretations of fashion. The heightened emphasis placed on Gazette du Bon Ton's pochoir diminished the powerful role of editor Lucien Vogel in terms of branding French fashion. Reconsidering Gazette du Bon Ton as a complete and artfully presented publication explores the intersections of fine art with commerce between 1912 and 1914 and its evolution in expressing a modern design aesthetic. Lucien Vogel created a luxury fashion publication that was influential in branding French standards of taste and the promise of a new century. In considering the historic importance of his fashion publication, we must take into account: the collaborative networks of artists, couturiers, and writers working in Paris; the use of fine luxury print materials; and the relationship with publisher, Librairie centrale des beaux- arts. Gazette du Bon Ton published sixty-nine issues over a six-year period with a break in publishing during the war years 1916-1919. The fashion periodical was distributed monthly with ten issues produced each year, there were no issues printed in January and August. The publication’s first three years 1912-1914 were the strongest in reflecting Lucien Vogel’s vision for the publication and are the focus of this thesis. The first issue was published in November 1912. Lucien Vogel outlined

  • Paul Iribe (1883–1935) Was Born in Angoulême, France

Sign Up About Browse Timelines Store Search Databases Advanced search --------The Berg Companion to Fashion eBook Valerie Steele (ed) Berg Fashion Library IRIBE, PAUL Michelle Tolini Finamore Pages: 429–430 Paul Iribe (1883–1935) was born in Angoulême, France. He started his career in illustration and design as a newspaper typographer and magazine illustrator at numerous Parisian journals and daily papers, including Le temps and Le rire. In 1906 Iribe collaborated with a number of avant­garde artists to create the satirical journal Le témoin, and his illustrations in this journal attracted the attention of the fashion designer Paul Poiret. Poiret commissioned Iribe to illustrate his first major dress collection in a 1908 portfolio entitled Les robes de Paul Poiret racontées par Paul Iribe . This limited edition publication (250 copies) was innovative in its use of vivid fauvist colors and the simplified lines and flattened planes of Japanese prints. To create the plates, Iribe utilized a hand­ coloring process called pochoir, in which bronze or zinc stencils are used to build up layers of color gradually. This publication, and others that followed, anticipated a revival of the fashion plate in a modernist style to reflect a newer, more streamlined fashionable silhouette. In 1911 the couturier Jeanne Paquin also hired Iribe , along with the illustrators Georges Lepape and Georges Barbier, to create a similar portfolio of her designs, entitled L’Eventail et la fourrure chez Paquin. Throughout the 1910s Iribe became further involved in fashion and added design for theater, interiors, and jewelry to his repertoire.

  • Jeanne Lanvin
    JEANNE LANVIN A 01long history of success: the If one glances behind the imposing façade of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 22, in Paris, Lanvin fashion house is the oldest one will see a world full of history. For this is the Lanvin headquarters, the oldest couture in the world. The first creations house in the world. Founded by Jeanne Lanvin, who at the outset of her career could not by the later haute couture salon even afford to buy fabric for her creations. were simple clothes for children. Lanvin’s first contact with fashion came early in life—admittedly less out of creative passion than economic hardship. In order to help support her six younger siblings, Lanvin, then only fifteen, took a job with a tailor in the suburbs of Paris. In 1890, at twenty-seven, Lanvin took the daring leap into independence, though on a modest scale. Not far from the splendid head office of today, she rented two rooms in which, for lack of fabric, she at first made only hats. Since the severe children’s fashions of the turn of the century did not appeal to her, she tailored the clothing for her young daughter Marguerite herself: tunic dresses designed for easy movement (without tight corsets or starched collars) in colorful patterned cotton fabrics, generally adorned with elaborate smocking. The gentle Marguerite, later known as Marie-Blanche, was to become the Salon Lanvin’s first model. When walking JEANNE LANVIN on the street, other mothers asked Lanvin and her daughter from where the colorful loose dresses came.

  • Rediscovering George Barbier, Art Deco Illustrator And
    REDISCOVERING GEORGE BARBIER, ART DECO ILLUSTRATOR AND COSTUME DESIGNER EXTRAORDINAIRE We begin at the ending. 15 March 1932 witnessed the passing of George Barbier in Paris at the relatively young age of 50 after two years with an unknown illness. His funeral was held four days later at 7:45 A.M. in his native city of Nantes, on the Loire River in the west of France. It was an obscure ending to a truly remarkable life lived to its fullest among the high society and rich artistic scene that was Paris in the first quarter of the 20th century. His social circle included such notables as the poet Robert de Montesquiou, author Marcel Proust and jeweller Louis Cartier. Born into the wealthy home of Nantes export/import merchant Charles Barbier and his wife Marie Mathilde Ertaud in 1882, Georges demonstrated his artistic talent at an early age. He was a student at the École régionale du Dessin et des Beaux‐Arts in Nantes, where he could be found reproducing paintings housed in the local museum by such notable artists as Antoine Watteau and Ingres. He is believed to have spent several years in London before enrolling in the Paris studio of Jean‐Paul Laurens at the Académie Julien in 1908. His time in England is shrouded in mystery, but his personal library that was dispersed upon his death housed numerous titles illustrated by leading English illustrators such as William Blake, Charles Ricketts, Gustave Doré, Arthur Rackham, and the famous Aubrey Beardsley. Barbier also owned personal correspondence by Beardsley, as well as some of his original illustrations for works by Edgar Allan Poe.

  • Rethinking Sovereignty and the State: the American Revolution, the International Press, and the French Political Imagination
    RETHINKING SOVEREIGNTY AND THE STATE: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS, AND THE FRENCH POLITICAL IMAGINATION Steven Weber A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Jay Smith Lloyd Kramer Kathleen DuVal © 2018 Steven Weber ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Steven Weber: Rethinking Sovereignty and the State: The American Revolution, the International Press, and the French Political Imagination (Under the direction of Jay Smith) This paper examines the ideological content and implications of texts from Britain and North America translated and published in France during the American Revolution and situates them in political dialogues already underway in the French public sphere by the 1770s. Focused on popular sovereignty, representation in government, and public control of state finances, the paper shows how documents from America and Britain reinforced radical political arguments in France that would ultimately undermine the absolutist old regime. These texts, circulated legally in newspapers and the state-run periodical Affaires de l’Angleterre et de l’Amérique, communicated numerous arguments in favor of populism and public action to French readers. This thesis places those texts into the cannon of subversive writings that circulated in the French public sphere in the years before the revolution, and thus places

North (2008) puts forward the thesis that in the late 19 th century, Redfern and Sons was of equal importance to the House of Worth. It is even possible to assert that Redfern, and his legacy, were actually of greater importance as shapers of 20 th Century styles.

  • Un Siècle Et Demi De Journalisme En Haïti
    1939.] Journalism in Haiti 121 UN SIÈCLE ET DEMI DE JOURNALISME EN HAÏTI BY ADOLPHE CABON INTRODUCTORY NOTE. This monograph of A Century and a Half of Journalism in Haiti was written by Father Adolphe Cabon, librarian of the Séminaire Saint-Martial at Port-au-Prince in Haiti. It was published in a small mimeographed magazine issued at Port-au-Prince, the "Petite Revue Hebdomaire," conducted by Frédéric Doret, a civil engineer, in 1919 and from 1925 to 1934. The monograph was published in weekly issues from April 12 to November 14, 1919. In addition to treating of the history of the journals of the period, the author contributes much material on the Haitian Revolution made up from original articles and documents printed in the newspapers. Father Cabon was bom in 1873 in the diocese of Quimper, France, went to Haiti in 1895 aB professor and librarian of the Séminaire Saint-Martial, was head of the institution from 1909 to 1919, in the latter year returning to France. After his return to France he continued to write for the "Petite Revue" on San Domingo history and especially on the period of the Revolution. He became Secretary-General of the Congregation of Saint Esprit at Paris, and now occupies the chair of theology in that institution. The monograph is of so much value for the study of the early printers of San Domingo, many of whom emigrated to the United States in 1792- 1794, that it is here reprinted from the file owned by the Séminaire Saint-Martial, perhaps the only complete file preserved.
