Illustrator and graphic designer, Guy Arnoux contributed to Gazette du Bon Ton from 1912. There he created vignettes in which the designs of couturiers were displayed on young women with mischievous eyes and barely sketched features.

Thus, in J'en tiens un, a young woman in country attire, gently amused, catches a small fish at the end of her fishing rod; in La Belle Viscomtesse, the costume is in the same manner highlighted whilst the body fades behind the fabrics and the bold black line, so characteristic of Arnoux's style.

But his work moved away fairly quickly from fashion drawings to turn toward military themes, even being appointed official painter of the navy in 1921. Nevertheless, he remained attached to Parisian life and his artistic circle by entering the Cercle des Mortigny, founded in 1908 by Dimitri d'Osnobichine and bringing together numerous artists, many of whom drew alongside Arnoux at the Gazette: Boutet de Monvel, Brissaud, and even the couturier Paul Poiret.
