Fashion’s Iconic Muse

Shortly after a flight next to Hermes chief executive Jean Louis Dumas, Jane Birkin found herself serving as the inspiration behind the ionic Birkin bag. The actress was known for her doe-eyed look, which usually involved her peepers lined by long and separated bottom eyelashes. Her whispy fringe framed her face and the look was finished with a hint of pink blusher to give a rosy flush to her flawless skin.

Jane Birkin was the most French of Englishwomen and the most loved by the French who adopted her at first sight. Since the announcement of her death, tributes have been pouring in to celebrate a talented, committed and free artist. Iggy Pop, Marianne Faithful, Étienne Daho, Serge Lama, Françoise Hardy have all expressed their love and admiration for « their » Jane.

Jane Birkin died on July 16, 2023 in Paris.
