He was one of the world’s most influential musicians. A French poet. An artist. This is a dedication to a man that captured the hearts of the most glamorous women we did ever know of. Women that continue to inspire us. They spent their best years in another time. A time when London was swinging right around.
Serge Gainsbourg. Jane Birkin. Brigitte Bardot.

"serge was terribly self-counscious about his looks. he got over it with the help of beautiful women" -Jane Birkin
"if only every man who sees my films did not get the impression he can make love to me, i would be alot happier" -Brigitte Bardot
"i'd rather live on my own than live with a face that looks at me with the wrong eyes" -Jane Birkin







I adore Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg. The French film 'Gainsbourg' which came out last year was lovely, and Lucy Gordon was beautiful as Jane - although tragic, too, because she committed suicide just after it was made. A really interesting and gorgeous film, though - plus, Margaret and David approved! Always feel a bit better about my choices after a film I like gets a tick from them.
