Jane Birkin (1946–2023) was a quintessential icon of the 1960s and ’70s, whose effortless blend of British “cool” and French “chic” redefined global style.
Born in London but adopted by Paris, Birkin became a sensation through her artistic and personal partnership with Serge Gainsbourg, most notably on the provocative duet “Je t’aime... moi non plus.” Beyond her breathy vocals and her roles in cult films like Blow-Up and La Piscine, her influence on fashion remains unparalleled, her name is forever linked to the legendary Hermès Birkin bag, which was famously designed after a chance encounter on an airplane.
With her signature bangs, basket bags, and bohemian spirit, Jane Birkin embodied a timeless, “undone” elegance that continues to inspire designers and muses across the world today. Take a look at these vintage photos to see portraits of a young Jane Birkin in the 1960s and 1970s.
