Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon paid tribute to their mother during the Lyon Lumière Festival, on October 21 and 22, 2023. The two women spoke on stage, dressed in almost identical outfits.
It was a sober and powerful tribute. On the occasion of the closing day of the Lyon Light Festival, October 22, 2023, Lou Doillon presented Boxesa film made in 2007 by his mother, Jane Birkin. A showing she introduced, dressed in a gray pinstriped suit jacket, matching pleated pants, a white T-shirt and brown leather ankle boots.
The day before, Charlotte Gainsbourg was already standing on this same stage. She presented Jane by Charlotte, the documentary film she made in 2021, in honor of the British artist who died on July 16, 2023. She also wore a fine white striped blazer and a crisp T-shirt, which she paired with jeans blue and light straight and a black cap.
Two looks that evoke the look that Jane Birkin loved: sober, elegant and freely inspired by men’s style. A silhouette recognizable among thousands.
The tributes are multiplying
This look wasn’t the only tribute the two sisters paid to their mother since her death. On their social networks, the two women continue to share their most beautiful memories with Jane Birkin.
Charlotte Gainsbourg has also become one of the new muse of the house of Saint Laurent at the start of the 2023 school year. A role that her mother, Jane Birkin, had taken on in 2016. Fashion icon of the 70s, the singer was chosen by the fashion house to pose during a campaign bringing together all the artists who inspired Hedi Slimaneartistic director of the label between 2012 and 2016.
