Le Bon Ton of Her Time
Years ago I read a book called, "The Duchess of Devonshire," which was later made into a movie with Keira Knightley playing the Duchess. In the book, it talks about "Le bon ton," which meant the highest fashion and taste possible in society. Tonight, when I came across this photo, I thought surely this lady must have been "le bon ton," of her time.

Never read the book, but I liked the movie very much!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of the film? I loved the costumes and soundtrack, but the movie didn't grab or touch me deeply. It felt kind of distant, somehow. I didn't feel stirred from witin.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same, it wasn't a movie I'd buy or even watch again, but I did enjoy seeing it that one time, since I had read the book.
ReplyDeleteWow. That lady has some serious plumage going on with that hat. I'm assuming she wasn't a shy person, hehheh.
