Style icon Jane Birkin captured the world’s attention in a pair of blue jeans – and she made it look easy. With a captivating confidence and an easy elegance, Birkin made simplicity sophisticated, which is exactly why we named our new Birkin Shirt in her honor.

It didn’t take long for Puglia, Italy to win our hearts. It’s home to the family-owned factory where our jeans are stitched to perfection before they make their way into your wardrobe. The region has an undeniably Italian cool factor (even the sign hanging outside the factory is cool!), and we’re not the only ones who think so – we’ve spotted Helen Mirren on more than one Puglia-bound flight.
And if that’s not reason enough to put a trip to Puglia on your bucket list, these photos may do the trick. Photographed for British Vogue by Lauran Sciacovelli in her hometown of Salento in Puglia, these images speak for themselves, conveying what we love most about the region.

Like the Eames aesthetic, the new documentary narrated by James Franco on the husband-and-wife design team behind Eames is insightful, stylish and cool.
Together Charles and Ray Eames helped give shape to the 20th century with their modern furniture, but it was their philosophy on life that we love most. They viewed their roles as architect and painter not as jobs, but as ways of looking at the world – “Life was fun was work was fun was life.” We’re guessing this philosophy made for a genuinely enjoyable workweek.

Uniquely striking, Nico spent her teenage years modeling throughout Europe before fleeing to New York where she caught the attention of Andy Warhol and his Factory crowd. Under Warhol’s guidance, she joined forces with his in-house band, The Velvet Underground, singing lead vocals on one of the most legendary rock albums of all time, The Velvet Underground and Nico.
Her wide eyes and high cheekbones made her a 60s standout, but it’s her undeniably modern sense of style that has made her an enduring fashion icon and the inspiration behind our iconic blue jean, the Nico.
In celebration of Nico’s low maintenance, high impact style, we’ve created a Pinterest board showcasing her best looks. Check it out here.
