Beauty Icon: Jane Birkin

When it comes to beauty icons, I tend to look to muses with a natural, unique, beauty and a sense of perfect imperfections. One of my all time favorites is Jane Birkin; she posesses a timeless beauty. Jane Birkin is an English actress, model, singer and film director who lives in France.

"The" Bag

You may (or ofcourse) recognize it from her name, and yes, who doesn't know what a Birkins is? Back in 1984, Hermes named and designed a handbag after her. On an flight from Paris to London, Jane Birkin pulled her Hermes datebook out of her bag and all her papers fell on the floor. She complained to the passenger sitting next to her that the book should have pockets. That passenger was the chairman of Hermes, Jean-Louis Dumas, and after hearing her complain he created the Birkin bag. We owe you Jane!


She's is on of my Icons. I just love her.
