In this episode of Leave Your Mark, I sit down again with New York Times bestselling author Marisa Meltzer to talk about her new book, IT GIRL — the first comprehensive biography of Jane Birkin, actress, singer, and legendary style icon.

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?

Marisa sheds new light on Birkin’s enigmatic life and explores her profound influence on generations in a rigorously reported biography unlike any other. It Girl paints a vivid portrait of Birkin’s life — from her early years in 1960s London to her rise as a beloved celebrity in France — revealing her creative drive, personal challenges, and the delicate balance between her public persona and private self.

Together, we talk about how Birkin redefined femininity, inspired an entire cultural aesthetic, and carved out a creative identity that was far more than a muse. Far from being just the woman behind the bag, Jane Birkin was a woman ahead of her time — and It Girl finally gives her the recognition she deserves.
