Summary:	"More than a fashion muse--she was a cultural icon whose style defined an era, and her legacy continues to influence new generations. Jane Birkin: Icon of Style pays tribute to her enduring impact and style with a curated collection of stunning photography, fashion illustrations, and intimate portraits. This first of its kind visual celebration traces her evolution from British ingénue to international style icon and showcases the lasting imprint she left on the fashion world. As the namesake of the legendary Hermès Birkin bag, she brought an unstudied elegance to everything she wore, making simplicity look sophisticated and effortlessly cool. Arriving on the scene in the '60s with her tousled hair, fringe, and basket bag in hand, Jane Birkin quickly captivated the worlds of music, film, and fashion with her bohemian charm and natural beauty."-- Comment une petite Anglaise débarquée à Paris à l'âge de 20 ans est devenue une icône de mode ? Plus qu'intemporelle, Jane Birkin est immortelle. Dès qu'on prononce son nom, on voit sa silhouette et son look. De ses minirobes très british à ses pull-jean-baskets, elle a su se constituer une allure qui fascine toutes les générations même après sa disparition. On ne s'ennuie pas en regardant l'évolution du style de Jane B. dont la nonchalance ingénue donne l'impression que tout est fait sans effort.
