Say the name Jane Birkin out loud and you’ll immediately evoke a visual of a boxy, buckle-clad, padlock-equipped, top-handle handbag priced somewhere in the five figures. But the British-born actress, singer, and model, who’s considered by many the echelon of French-girl beauty alongside figures like Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot, led a full, many-layered life beyond being synonymous with a status-symbol purse. And Marisa Meltzer — the journalist behind the bestselling book “Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss’s Glossier,” which follows the road to success of one of beauty’s biggest brands —  has just given us an inside look into all of it. Her new novel, “It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin,” already ranks as the #1 new release in Amazon’s “Fashion Books” category. It’s set to be officially released on October 7, but you can already pre-order the 224-pager in hardcover, Kindle, or audiobook form.
