Jane Birkin, the prolific Anglo-French musician and actress whose style inspired generations of fashion enthusiasts, has died at age 76, according to the French culture ministry. The style icon who inspired the Hermès Birkin is survived by her daughters Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon.

Born on December 14, 1946, in London to actress Judy Campbell and naval officer David Birkin, Jane rose to fame in the late 1960s, when she traveled to France to work in the country's film industry and met her former husband and lifelong collaborator, the late singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. She first gained notoriety for her seductive appearances in both Michelangelo Antonioni’s cult 1966 film Blow-Up, in which she performed nude, and on Gainsbourg's explicit 1969 duet "Je t'aime… moi non plus," which became a symbol of freedom and sexual liberation.
