Jane Birkin

Arriving in France at the end of the 1960s, Jane Birkin immediately imposes her style and becomes a true fashion icon. Ultra-short dresses, flared t-shirts worn without a bra, plunging necklines down to the navel, looks all in transparency... The English artist stands out and seduces with her iconic crochet baby-doll dresses and flare jeans. Inseparable from her wicker basket, found at a London market, she associates her name in 1984 with another handbag, the birkin from Hermès, now one of the most coveted models in the world (it takes 6 years to obtain it). As she aged, Jane Birkin changed her style and perfectly embodied the effortless style: oversized jeans, white shirts, sneakers... "At a certain age, you have to stop playing with false eyelashes. Otherwise, you become terrifying," she confided. Passing away at 76 on Sunday, July 16, 2023, Jane Birkin has undeniably left her mark on the world of fashion.
