wished to sell, they decided to create
their own lingerie line, Agent Provocateur.

Imagine having a mother who has a Hermés bag named after
her, the Birkin Bag that is.
Or, imagine having a daughter who is the face of Balenciaga,
sings like a dream and stars in Lars von Trier movies. Well,
that is Jane Birkin and her daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Not only do they sing and act, they are true French style
icons as well. You can see them both in classic striped sweaters,
classic bangs or in a careless t-shirt and a jeans look,
done in a perfect way.
somehow, French women have style in their blood. Jane Birkin
is not really french though - she was born in England but
married French legend Serge Gainsbourg in the early 70‘s.
Before she got famous for singing ”Je t’aime... moi non plus”
with Serge she starred in the movie 60’s movie ”Blowup”. The
song mentioned got banned by radio stations in Italy, Spain,
and the UK for being to sexual. Then, after Hermés named a
bag after her she became a worldwide style icon.
