For a long time, Jane Birkin enjoyed her status as a muse that was attributed to her in spite of herself. “It would never have occurred to me to register in this category, it is the others who tell me that I am one. Anyway, I was an inspiration for Serge, there are some things he wouldn’t have written for someone else, including ‘Je t’aime moi non plus’ . I’m talking about the film, not the song since it was intended for Brigitte Bardot […] When my daughter Lou told me that I had inspired fashion designers, I was surprised”revealed the mother of Charlotte Gainsbourg.
During this interview, Jane Birkin also released an intriguing anecdote about the father of her daughter Kate Barry who disappeared in 2013: “When I met John Barry, I feared his disappointment when he noticed that my bra was stuffed with cotton.” The opportunity for her to also evoke her ex and inescapable Pygmalion: Serge Gainsbourg whom she also deeply loved. “Serge said that breasts frightened him, he loved androgynous bodies, which he already painted at the Beaux-Arts”, affirmed Jane Birkin, specifying that her “androgynous personality represented an ideal”. Together, the duo will have had the merit of making thousands of French people dream!
