Jane Birkin - an eternal style icon

The English singer, actress and model with permanent residence in France, known as the longtime wife of the composer and singer Serge Gainsbourg, left an indelible mark in fashion. Jane Birkin is known for very short dresses from the 1960s, plain flared "jeans", a white T-shirt and the indispensable wicker basket that she always carried with her.

Her fashion style was followed every step of the way by the paparazzi when she appeared with Serge, or her brother took the photos Andrew Birkin. So today, thanks to the photos taken, we can enjoy the book Jane&Serge. Her fashion combinations are also recorded in the films in which she acted (La Piscine and Slogan).

A legend he says that in 1981, Jane was sitting next to the then director on the plane Hermes fashion house and complained to him that there was no way he could get a real leather bag to store all the accessories he now carries in woven baskets. And that after three years, the fashion house designed a bag according to her wishes and needs. Her contribution to fashion is not finished. She gave birth to two daughters Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon, which continue their mother's fashion recognition and are considered a fashion model.
