Cravate de chasse (Hunting Tie)
This fashion illustration from *Gazette du Bon Ton* demonstrates four variations of neck-tie styling and accompanying accessories for women. The numbered figures show different draping techniques—from the formal bow (Fig. 1) to the loose knot (Fig. 2)—paired with hats and jackets that establish social context. The hand at bottom illustrates fastening method. The linear style, spare cross-hatching, and layout echo the instructional broadsheets and fashion prints of earlier centuries, while the art deco sensibility places it squarely in 1920s modernism. Women's fashion journalism of this period functioned as visual instruction for consumption and social performance, translating couture into readable codes of class and leisure.
