FOREVER J
Who can put a label on this, the most “it” of all it girls in fashion history? Ever since the camera caught a glimpse of this fragile and simply perfect English Rose, during the London swinging sixties, it has never looked away. Model, actress, singer, songwriter, muse, she is everything at once. Always with an effortless manner, carrying herself in a quiet but most powerful fashion.
She is the one that made headscarves cool, carrying hand weaved baskets, wearing boyfriend jeans and shirts, walking around barefoot and letting her long mane blow with the wind. She is the one who followed her heart and Serge Gainsbourg to France, only to stay there until today, it’s non strange that the French consider her “family” and adore her unique style, together with her still funny accent.
If you happed to be in the city of lights until the first of March, don’t miss “Jane B.” the exhibition at the Galerie de l’Instant with a series of photographs of Jane taken by her brother Andrew Birkin and photographer Tony Frank, who have captured her beauty in full bloom, whether alone or with Serge Gainsbourg.
In patchwork jeans and a soft toy for Gainsbourg’s album cover, short trousers or long, hipster white bell-bottoms, in a simple t-shirt, a jean shirt with pockets or nothing at all, Jane’s beauty continues to inspire us, not just because of her fresh and earthy nature, but because she was, is and always be an ultimate icon.
