"I’m always looking for the best pair of denim—I’ve been looking all my life!" says Charlotte Gainsbourg. Now she's found her ideal pair with a little help from Zara.
Charlotte Gainsbourg Creates Her Essential Wardrobe From Jeans to Tees for Zara
To count the number of paeans written to Charlotte Gainsbourg’s style is an impossible task. I know: I’ve been trying to since speaking to the actress and musician earlier this autumn. Gainsbourg was born into good taste and in her 50 years has inspired legions to try to capture the authenticity, the freedom, and the self-assuredness of her look. But rather than reflect on all the elements of Gainsbourg’s style, from Balenciaga and Saint Laurent minidresses to her red carpet suits, she tells me there is one item so essential to her taste she could not imagine living without it: jeans. And as the daughter of two denim-loving icons—Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg—she’s been wearing good jeans since day one.

“Of course my mother bought me jeans, Oshkosh and all of that when that was a trend in the ’70s,” Gainsbourg said over Zoom from Paris. “But I’m always looking for the best pair of jeans—I’ve been looking all my life!” Her lifelong affinity for denim has led her to partner with Zara on a concise collection of denim and essentials that capture the essence of Charlotte Gainsbourg as she sees it during the tail end of 2021. The range of pieces, from stovepipe jeans to the perfect black tank, will go on sale in Zara stores and online globally on October 7.
