I am adding Jane Birkin to my list female muses on the right hand side of my blog.
Jane Birkin emerged in the swinging '60s in London, creating a stir as one of the models in the controversial film Blowup in 1966, in which she became the first actress to reveal pubic hair in mainstream cinema. She met her first husband Serge Gainsbourg a famous French writer, director and singer on the set of her second movie and quickly excelled to international fame as his muse.
Hermès' named and designed the Birkin Bag for her in 1984 after the actress was seen in 1981 by the head of Hermès struggling with several bags while boarding an airplane.
