Fashion and the media

An important part of fashion is fashion journalism. At the beginning of the twentieth century, fashion magazines began to include photographs and became even more powerful than in the past. In cities throughout the world these magazines were greatly sought-after and had a profound effect on public taste. Talented illustrators drew exquisite fashion plates for the publications which covered the latest developments in fashion and beauty. Perhaps the most famous of these magazines was La Gazette du bon ton which was founded in 1912 by Lucien Vogel and regularly published until 1925.
