The magazine Art Goût Beauté was launched in the fall of 1920 under the title Les Succès d'Art Goût Bon Ton then adopted in November 1921 the name of Art Goût Beauté [Art Taste and Beauty] which took the initials of the publisher, the house of fabrics "Successors of Albert Godde Bedin". This magazine owes its fame to the numerous in-text illustrations stenciled that presented the models of the great fashion houses including: Bernard, the Callot sisters, Doeuillet, Doucet, Drecoll, Jenny, Martial and Armand, Philippe and Gaston, Poiret, Premet, Worth, etc. In the 1930s, the magazine finally changed format before ending in 1933.
