"Style icon" is one of those overused fashion phrases we've come to loathe but when it's used to describe Jane Birkin (which it often does) we can't protest. She's kinda the ultimate style icon, having inspired everyone from next-gen style icons like Alexa Chung to designers like Jason Wu. She even has her own iconic bag: the Hermès Birkin (which she's rather unfussed about, frankly). But even an icon like Birkin has stuff she wants to change about herself.

What is it about the French? Or French women to be exact? No matter what they're wearing--whether it be a t-shirt or a ballgown--they always manage to exude that certain...je ne sais quoi. And it's precisely that je ne sais quoi that has inspired designers (and our wardrobes) for generations.

Click through to see them all.

The 65th Annual Cannes International Film Festival kicks off tomorrow, and of course we're super excited to see what everyone will wear. Not only does the festival offer a perfect blend of Hollywood glamour and French insouciance, but whether it's the heat or the proximity to nude beaches, people tend to get pretty daring with their fashion choices. And it's made for some pretty iconic red carpet moments over the years.

In anticipation of her upcoming performance at Town Hall in NYC, style icon, songstress and philanthropist Jane Birkin spoke to WWD about music, her famous and hip offspring and that bag that Hermès named after her, which happens to have just broken the world record for most expensive bag ever to be sold at a public auction. Instead of putting it on a pedestal like the person who paid $203,150 for one might, she leverages it for charity:

H&M's holiday campaign features Stella Tennant and her daughters Cecily and Jasmine, nine and seven. They're meant to embody the "spirit of togetherness" theme that H&M is pushing for the quickly-approaching holiday season. Of course, it's not the first time model mothers and their kids have worked together in campaigns and editorials. So we decided to round up some of our favorite mother-daughter moments. One of them may surprise you.

Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos might be going their separate ways, but not without one last hurrah. Today, the knitwear duo opened an e-shop devoted to limited edition pieces created by their friends--designers, creatives, actors--over the last ten years. Remember the Jane Birkin-designed dress? Or the Kirsten Dunst-envisioned Omi & Opi mini? We do. And we're particularly thrilled that our fashion idol Sofia Coppola's belted crewneck is there. We've been eyeing it since 2005, when it first hit stores. The nicest thing about buying Julianne Moore's cardigan? A small portion of the proceeds will go to the charity of her choice. Just for fun, we've included a list of guest designers, the year their piece was released, and which charity a purchase of their piece will benefit:
