Though Jane Birkin was not born in France, her style – which turned wicker baskets, cropped T-shirts, men’s blazers and dishevelled fringes into fashionable must-haves – came to define that otherwise indefinable “Gallic” look.
Since her death was announced on Sunday, there has been a boom in all things Birkin. Vestiaire Collective, a French-founded high-end resale site that sells worldwide, says it is already seeing a heightened interest in Breton stripes, wide-leg trousers and A-line skirts – all based on the performer’s nonchalant, offhand look.
