Happy Birthday, Charlotte Gainsbourg! A Birkin-Gainsbourg Family Album

The daughter of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg was born something of an icon, growing into an accomplished singer, actress, and filmmaker in her own right. (And that’s to say nothing of her status as the consummate Saint Laurent muse, carrying off Anthony Vaccarello’s sharp tailoring and abbreviated hemlines like pajamas.) 

Here, to celebrate her birthday (Gainsbourg was born on this day in 1971), Vogue opens her family album—tender and inevitably mythical—to take a look back.
