London born singer, actress, model, directer, activist and of course (French song writer) Serge Gainsbourg's muse, Jane Birkin is no doubt a 60's fashion icon. Armed with the era identifying bangs and legs to the high heavens, Birkin's knee high boots, tiny shorts, baggy sweaters, seductive minis, high waisted jeans and loose jackets made her the envy of a decade. Her bohohemian mod look is so simple but oozes character, teamed with minimalistic accessories such as chains, daisy chain head pieces and large sunglasses, her style reflects ease but leaves room for her personality to be dominant. Many of her style elements can be seen today, next time your out and about do a little people watching..who's been influenced by Jane Birkin and not even realise it?
