NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The first comprehensive biography of Jane Birkin—actress, singer, and legendary style icon—and her profound cultural impact, from the “acerbic, culturally astute, and genuine” (The New York Times) author of the instant New York Times bestseller Glossy.

Jane Birkin was synonymous with chic. Her effortless style and artistic legacy have been immortalized through her music and film career. And, of course, she was the inspiration behind one of the world’s most coveted bags, the Hermès Birkin. But who was the real woman behind the it girl?

Now, New York Times bestselling author Marisa Meltzer presents a fresh, “intimate, and humanizing portrait of a woman who was far more than just a muse” (Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author) and explores her profound influence on generations in a rigorously reported biography unlike any other. It Girl paints a “deeply researched portrait” (Bustle) of Birkin and her legacy, from her early years in 1960s London to her rise as a beloved celebrity in France, detailing personal challenges, her relationships with creative powerhouses, and the duality of her public and private selves.

Based on interviews and deep archival research, Meltzer reveals the nuances of Birkin’s character: her famously tempestuous romantic relationships, life with her three famous daughters, and the creative energy that drove her. “Compelling and charming” (Town & Country), It Girl tells the story of her indelible impact on femininity and style, and at last, gives Birkin her well-deserved due.
