There is nothing that Jane Birkin did not wear; No trend that she has not launched. The latter is also part. Inherited from our grandmothers, she returns as soon as summer points to her nose.
The favorite Englishman of the French has launched, trends. The Baby Doll dress, the flare jeans, the wicker basket: the chic style without effort of Jane Birkin is timeless, eternal, always alive. A fashion relevance that survives the test of time. Indeed, even today, it inspires a trend that invades all our clothes when the good weather comes. She has brought it on many occasions, for several seasons, in many different ways.
First marking fashion episode: in 1969, at the Gala of the Union of Artists – a charity evening taking place at the Winter Cirque in Paris, in the 11th arrondissement. Serge Gainsbourg’s partner arrives at her arm, dressed in a long white dress Emilio Pucci… in crochet. The neckline is plunging, the navel, the cut is tight: enough to make a sensation from the moment it appears. This is where the hook trend knows its big moment with the Englishwoman.
But on the crochet side, the British is not at her first try: in fervent representative of this material, she already wore her and “ennobled” during her marriage to John Barry on October 16, 1965. The spirit and the style of the dress are different: it is wiser, more candid, with its cut above the knee and its small flying on the sleeves. If the two separate shortly after, one thing will have resisted in Jane Birkin’s life and dressing room: the hook. In the film The pool (1969), she will carry it in a tank top version-mini dress, which lends itself perfectly to the context of the dip.
If the mother of Charlotte, Kate and Lou loves it especially on her dresses, the fashion sphere uses the hook at all costs: pants, jackets, bandana or even bags. A material that seems to please them, because inherited from an artisanal know-how mastered by our grandmothers in our imagination. An idea also confirmed by the last parade Jacquemus,, The peasantwhich highlights a 100% hook silhouette manufactured in collaboration with six Marseille grannies.
A trend that is therefore far from taking dust, since it is validated by all the spheres of fashion-from high select haute couture ‘to more earth-to-earth ready-to-wear. Thus, this year, the hook has invaded all the clothes, all the environments, all the styles – even those that we did not expect. Usually on our beach looks, Sportswear also seized it, adidas The first, with a hook jacket and jogging set that made a raid among fashionistas.
