Some images capture it all in a single frame. It’s nearly impossible to gaze at this shot of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin without holding up one palm to block the glare of the sun (or is that their star power), taste the salt of the ocean and hear the excited snaps of cameras trying desperately to capture the effortless cool this couple exudes.
And while throngs of beachgoers linger in their bikinis and shorts, Gainsbourg and Birkin keep their cool, clothed in relaxed summer style. If one ever needs sartorial inspiration, keep this image handy and you’ll be the picture of summer.
