You may not know that the woman who best represents French elegance is an Englishman.
Hong Huang said: "I know more than one woman who can kill for a birkin bag, and if it is a crocodile birkin, it can start the massacre." I once asked them if they liked Jane birkin's music, and they all replied: 'Who'? Another asked me who birkin was more famous than Na Ying. Because of my lack of understanding of this behavior, I often ask them why they are so crazy about following a bag. ”

In the early 1980s, a British lady, Jane Birkin, took her young daughter from Paris to London in Air France First Class. Her husband, Jacques Duvallon, reversed two days ago and crushed the basket she was carrying. He could never have imagined the consequences of this incident, and during this flight trip, everything in Jane Birlik's bag, including bottles, diapers, etc., fell out.
The man sitting next to Jane birkin helped her clean up what had fallen on the floor and said to her, 'I think you should use a bag with an inner bag.'"
She said to the man, "If One day Hermès produces a bag with an inner bag, I will definitely buy it." "
The man sitting next to me said, "I happen to work for Hermès, and I'll add the inner pocket to your bag." “
This man was none other than Jean-Louis Dumas, the then CEO of Hermès, the father of the current Creative Director of Hermès, and the uncle of the current CEO.
Jane Birkin then casually drew a design on the vomit bag and gave the specifications: "Why don't you make a handbag that is larger than the kelly bag, but smaller than my ex-husband, Serge Gansbow's men's suitcase?" ”
The bag eventually became a reality in 1984, based on another bag designed by Hermès in 1982, dumas made a black cowhide version for her. Interestingly, after the launch of this bag at that time, no one cared about it for four years, so it was silently placed in the store, and then word of mouth went out to catch fire.
In recent years, the French style has gradually taken center stage in fashion again. And jane birkin is almost all our impression of the French style of that year, and now the popular elements seem to find their origins in her: laziness, casualness, temperament, what to want, in 50 years it will be incredibly fashionable to see.

Jane birkin is a fashion icon with a profound influence on Parisian pop culture in the sixties and seventies, wearing a simple white shirt, wide-leg jeans, a messy long brown bangs image is still imitated by generations, and even the clearly visible teeth and undisguised laughter that could be said to be shortcomings have become her distinctive personal identity, which is considered to be an important reason for her sexy, free and unfettered freedom temperament of a twenty-something girl forever.
But in France, which is conceited about her own culture and xenophobic, it is not only her looks that can become a charm, but also her famous three talented husbands are not so superficial.
Jane Birkin was born in London on 14 December 1946. Her father, David Birkin, was a prominent British aristocrat who was serving as commander of the Royal Navy when Jane was born. Jane's mother, Judy Campbell, was a reputable actress and a beloved muse of the famous British playwright Noel Coward. Jane birkin grew up in this artistic family environment, so she was able to quickly integrate into the avant-garde wave of the French art scene in the future.
At first, her wide eyes, slightly open and pursed lips, and her scary lower false eyelashes were completely on the way to the cute doll. But judging from the results, this doll is a bit fierce: because her eyes are small, there is no expression like rolling her eyes.
Coupled with the slightly open lips of the tooth, it is fierce to shoot a cover at random. Although Barbie dolls were very much in line with the aesthetics of the time, Birkin felt that he was stupid at that time.
In the 60s, when Birkin debuted, French women were not yet lazy and casual. In those days, neatness and decency were the first demands of French women in dressing. However, Birkin is British and does not eat the French set. She grew up in a privileged family, and for Birkin she was only comfortable, and this elegant but uncomfortable suit was never within her consideration.
Her favorite is similar to straight man's true love. In the 60s, she could put her vest and pants on the street, and her movements with a small belly were exactly the same as those of the middle-aged Uncle Fa Fu.
After a few years, her wings hardened, and her seal was completely lifted. All her looks can be summed up in two words: neutral. All the false eyelashes were thrown in the trash, and the makeup was so light that it was almost impossible to see the makeup.

Now our understanding of the elegance of French women is that the so-called effortless win is very large, because the effort is spent in the invisible place.
White t, jeans are her favorites, whether it is to repair her own wall or open a concert is a dress. With high demands on comfort, she only wears a T-shirt made of Scottish cotton.
Shirts, birkin only wear men's models. The most matched is still long pants, and occasionally when paired with shorts, she will add a wide belt and add a little rebellious hippie feeling. Her shirts are from the anes .b, the brand style is simple and high-end, known as affordable haute couture ~
She really likes long pants and prefers loose fits. In her own words: "I just love the feeling of my pants cuffing my three legs.". It's impossible to stuff three thighs, but three calves is still possible.
Among the various loose pants, her favorite must be jeans, and the second love is white pants. Because people have tall legs and long legs, they are not worried about being fat at all, and her favorite white t is the whole white look that is very hot this summer. The pants are all loose, high waist, low waist, she never cares about the length of her legs, but the length of the pants foot tube is just right on the back of the foot.

Not only in the fashion industry, her development in the show business circle is also smooth sailing, takuya Kimura and Takako Tokiwa's "Beautiful Life" theme song "yesterday yes a day" is a famous song created by Jane Berkin herself, this song is also a song that I think best represents her personal characteristics, her unique voice is difficult to imitate, like a kitten made its first call in life, very childish, not in tune, but unexpectedly touching people, she opened the cavity to make people feel numb, A shuddering sensation spread from the tail vertebrae upwards directly to the limbs and skeletons.
Even more amazing than her artwork and the trends that lead to her flow is her life.
Jane Birkin's first husband was film score master John Barry, who won five Oscars for the 007 film series, Out of Africa, and Dances with Wolves.
The second husband' talented French national treasure artist Serge Gensbourg was a poet, novelist, painter, director, actor, who composed countless famous songs in his lifetime, and a bunch of stars of all sizes chased after him and invited songs. From Chanson/Jazz in the late '50s, African/Caribbean in the early '60s, erotic/subculture in the mid-to-late '60s, concept rock albums from the early '70s, Funkra and reggae from the '80s. After his death, France gave him the treatment of a state funeral.
The third husband is the world leader of French director Jacques doillon's children's films, who helped a 5-year-old girl win the Venice Film Queen award in "Little Lone Star". By the way, the last two "husbands" do not seem to have held a formal wedding, but they belong to the "de facto marriage", that is, the kind of contract that is concluded, which is more popular in France, and the current president Hollande also likes to do so.
Three marriages brought three children, the eldest daughter Kate Barry is a fashion photographer who worked for famous media such as vogue, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times in the UK, and later switched to portrait painting; the second daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg, singer, cannes queen, and actress Joey of "Female Addict"; Lou Doillon, known as "the most beautiful girl in Paris", a movie star and supermodel, The spokesperson for Givenchy perfume is also the fuse for the birth of the platinum bag.

Jane Berkin certainly did not think that this bag would one day drive women all over the world crazy. Victoria Beckham has a bunch of platinum packages that cost around £1.5 million. British celebrity tamara ecclestone has 30, each of which is kept in her wardrobe in a special glass box. But Jenn Berkin didn't pay attention to the maintenance of her namesake birkin as other girls did, and she never bought it in large quantities. You should know that Sister-in-law Bei already has countless birkins and is still buying and buying, and Jane Bo Jin has a total of 4 talents, and in recent years, she has also put them on the Internet for charity. The first to be auctioned off was dumas's world's first platinum bag, which sold for £100,000 and was donated by Jane Birkin to the Japanese Red Cross for reconstruction work after the earthquake and tsunami.
She sees the platinum bag as an external object, and she likes to paint on it, accompanied by stickers, beads and other trinkets with protest slogans, and she says: "If the bag can't be kicked around at will, what's the point?" So my platinum bag was so worn out that it looked as if a cat had been seated. "Because of this" doesn't look like a damn platinum bag! ”
She found it embarrassing that she had always liked to be free and casual, but she was eventually named a "snobbish eye bag", and the reputation of this bag was overshadowing her own name, which was a great irony. She once said to the media herself: "A few years later I went to New York to sing. People looked at the bag and when they heard my name, they shouted: 'Birkin!' That bag? And I said, 'Yes! Now the bag is going to start singing. ”
Jane Birkin's nephew Anno Birkin is a poet, and Jane Berkin put her last birkin bag at ebay for auction in order to donate the money to anno's Africa Charitable Foundation. Founded in honor of birkin's poet nephew anno birkin, the London-based charity provides alternative arts education to orphans and vulnerable children in Africa's most desperate slums.
Jane birkin told The Daily Telegraph: "I am very proud to have brought art, dance, music, circuses to the slums of Kenya by auctioning my platinum bag, bringing some joy and self-worth to hundreds of children who have nothing." Artists can go there and work with these kids, and there's nothing better for platinum packs than to be able to help these kids. ”
So many women in the world are eager to kill for a platinum bag, and Ms. Jane birkin put the last platinum bag online to help others sell it.
In the movie Fight Club, it is said, "Your work cannot represent yourself." Your bank account number cannot represent you. The car you drive doesn't represent you. What's in your wallet doesn't represent you. The clothes you wear do not represent you. "Sometimes we really should ask ourselves, if you lose these things, who are you?" Are you still you? People who want to add points to themselves with things outside their bodies, no matter how many things they pile on themselves, cannot change the shallow nature of their hearts, but people like Jane Berkin, even if she has no platinum bag, she still has a bullish life, and no one will despise her because of this.
"This is who I really am: casual wear with jeans, fluffy hair, barefoot walking down the street."
