Richly illustrated with striking photography spanning her career, Jane Birkin: Icon of Style explores the fashion moments that cemented her legendary status.

Her effortless ability to combine high fashion with everyday essentials continues to inspire modern wardrobes and defines the essence of timeless personal style.
Beautifully designed and filled with inspiring photography, Jane Birkin: Icon of Style is both a celebration of an extraordinary woman and a stylish coffee table book. An essential addition for fashion enthusiasts, collectors, and admirers of French style, it captures the lasting influence of one of the twentieth century’s most beloved cultural icons.
