'Birkin's diary entries ultimately expose the toxic reality behind one of the 20th century's most glamorous couples' Sunday Times Jane Birkin - actor, singer, songwriter and model - may have shot to worldwide fame through her relationship with Serge Gainsbourg and their controversial hit 'Je t'aime ... moi non plus', but it would be her wide-ranging acting career and effortless Gallic cool that was to truly cement her legacy as an enduring international icon. In Munkey Diaries, the first volume of Birkin's diaries, we're transported to the flamboyant world of London in the Swinging Sixties and Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the 1970s. There are intimate revelations about Jane's tumultuous life with her first husband, the composer John Barry, and her romantic and professional collaboration with Gainsbourg, as well as keen insights into her working life as an actor, singer and songwriter. Far from an ordinary memoir, Munkey Diaries offers a unique window into the early life and loves of an extraordinary woman.
BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 18-22nd FEBRUARY 2019 Marking the 50-year anniversary of the legendary banned song Je t'aime... moi non plus, Véronique Mortaigne's brilliantly-written book skilfully identifies the pairing of Gainsbourg and Birkin as an expression of the spirit of the age. Synonymous with love, eroticism, glamour, music, provocation, their affair would set France aflame as the sixties ebbed, and set in motion many of the ideas we have by now come to think of as specifically 'French'. Skipping back and forth in time, Je t'aime takes the reader from the foggy Normandy landscapes where Serge and Jane retreated, to their carefree summers on the coast. En route to their superstardom in films and music, we experience their intrigues, triangular relationships, and jealous rages, the genius and the self-torture. Tenderly told, via new interviews with key players in their story, Je t'aime details the coming together of two massive personalities, who together created a model of the rebel couple for the ages.

白いTシャツ、デニム。レペットのバレエシューズに、かごバッグ...ナチュラルなのに永遠のオリジナル、だから素敵!!定番アイテムだけで、オシャレになれちゃう秘密教えます。ジェーン・バーキンファッションスタイル・フォトBOOK。シリーズ第2弾。
Jane et Gabrielle se sont connues en 1965, trois ans avant que Gabrielle Crawford - qui a depuis immortalisé maints événements et personnages célèbres, des Beatles à Diana Rose en passant par Margaret Thatcher - ne devienne photographe. Mais dans ce livre, elle nous offre ce dont personne d'autre ne pouvait témoigner : quarante années d'une forte amitié qui font d'elle et de Jane Birkin deux sœurs d'âme. C'est pourquoi le regard, qu'elle porte sur la star est infiniment plus riche que celui - aussi, pertinent et talentueux soit-il - d'un simple photographe. Au fil des images inédites et intimes, des mots simples et sincères de Gabrielle, se dévoilent en filigrane les couleurs de la vie de Jane et les innombrables facettes de sa personnalité. Autant d'indices qui éclairent sous un, nouveau jour la vie et l'œuvre de cette femme sur le point de devenir une légende nommée Birkin.
