Jane Birkin, the namesake of the iconic Hermès bag, is dead at 76. Here are 10 photos of the French-British 'It' girl throughout her colorful life.

According to Reuters, Birkin was the daughter of Royal Navy commander David Birkin and Judy Campbell, who starred in films like "Green for Danger" and "There's a Girl in My Soup."

The former couple met when Birkin participated in the 1965 musical "Passion Flower Hotel," which was conducted and composed by Barry, Reuters reported. Birkin and Barry welcomed their daughter, Kate, in April 1967 but divorced in 1968.

Birkin played "The Blonde" in Michael Antonioni's film "Blow-Up," a mystery drama thriller following a fashion photographer who accidentally captures a death. The Guardian reported that, at the time, Birkin's full-frontal nude scene where her character participated in a threesome, caused a stir among audiences.

Birkin met her longtime partner Serge Gainsbourg while filming "Slogan" in 1969 as Gainsbourg was recovering from his breakup with Brigitte Bardot, Reuters reported. The pair fell in love, and Birkin moved to Paris.

Although outlets described the couple's 13-year relationship as "tumultuous," Birkin and Gainsbourg welcomed their daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg, in July 1971.

The song caused a stir at the time of its release due to its overtly sexual lyrics, the BBC reported.

Despite being banned from several radio stations — and condemned by the Vatican — because of its suggestive content, the song reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, according to the Independent.

Gainsbourg wrote the song a few years earlier for his then-girlfriend Brigitte Bardot.

The couple split in 1980, The Independent reported. According to The New York Times, Birkin continued "to sing the songs he wrote for her in her delicate, vulnerable voice" even after the breakup.

Her dedication to his songs spanned decades, The NYT reported. In 2018, she recorded a set of Gainsbourg songs for the album "Birkin/Gainsbourg: Le Symphonique."

In 1991, Birkin appeared in the miniseries "Red Fox." In 2016, she starred in the Oscar-nominated short film "La femme et le TGV," which tells the story of a woman who develops a relationship with a train conductor.

According to The Independent, she was directed by filmmakers like Jean-Luc Godard and Agnès Varda.

According to Hermès, the Birkin bag was born on a flight from Paris to London.

Seated next to Jean-Louis Dumas, the then-executive chairman of Hermès, Birkin complained that she couldn't find a handbag that fit her needs as a young mother. While still on the flight, Dumas sketched up the first rendition of the Birkin bag as it's known today.

The bag has become so coveted that it's inspired scammers to sell knock-off versions for $20,000 a pop.

Birkin would sing songs written by her former partner, Gainsbourg, and from her albums.

"You can't imagine how happy it makes you feel to see your faces," she told the audience at a concert last year, per The Guardian. "It's just so terribly touching. Enough to go on for the rest of my life."

Birkin's first daughter, Kate, who she had with her first husband, John Barry, died in 2013. She is survived by Charlotte Gainsbourg, whom she had with Serge Gainsbourg, and Lou Doillon, who she shared with director Jacques Doillon.
