1913 Costumes de Bain

I found this wonderful article on costumes for "bains de mer" (sea bathing) from the 1913 Gazette du Bon Ton, an exclusive French fashion magazine targeting a wealthy and sophisticated clientele.  The magazine was printed in limited quantities and was illustrated by many of the finest Art Deco artists of the period.  Unfortunately, I do not read French and when I tried to translate the article using Babel Fish, I got, well, babble.  Still, the charming and colorful illustrations showing what was once considered the finest in fashionable swimwear can be enjoyed in any language.
