Brides, performers, offspring ... Gainsbourg's hunting table is one of the impossible cast: that of icons of the style
made in France
from the 1950s to the present day.
With the flair of a headhunter, the sagacity of a
talented scout
in search of the top model of tomorrow, the man with the head of cabbage recruited each decade the one who would embody the time for posterity.
"
Gainsbourg was a style office in itself,"
summarizes Marie-Dominique Lelièvre in her biography
Gainsbourg without filter
.
He anticipated trends and made fashion.
He had a method all his own: he took in a deep breath of time air, each molecule he analyzed with the precision of a mass spectrometer.
"
With Birkin, Gréco or Bardot by his side, the singer born at the end of the Roaring Twenties can accompany the aesthetic changes in French society and slide on trends with the agility of a trendy Rastignac.
