Posting this lovely 1924 fashion illustration in honour of Chamonix in the French Alps where I’m currently enjoying ridiculous amounts of snow with my family. This Gazette du Bon Ton fashion plate features an ermine and white fox jacket by Max Leroy.

An illustrated 1920 advert for Weil Paris featuring an elegant woman in a white dress with black details, black gloves, and a long fur coat. All against a red background.

It’s freezing here in the UK! How’s your weather treating you?

This 1920 advert for Weil Paris was featured in Gazette du Bon Ton, an influential fashion mag published just 1912 - 1925. Available only to subscribers, it was known for its Parisian couture illustrations.
