Women Who've Shaped History: Françoise Hardy

Surely as a stylish and well-informed woman/gay, you are both familiar and in love with Françoise Hardy.  

This gorgeous Paris native is famous for her songs, films, and iconic style.  She also knows like 5 languages which is more than some popes.

Hardy began playing music when she was a child and was picked up by the record label Vogue shortly after beginning her studies at the Sorbonne (chiiiiic!) and dropped out of school to be amazing and frolic across Europe.

Then she was in a bunch of movies and just continued to be really famous and beautiful.  Also Bob Dylan wrote a song about her which probably means she's a big deal.

She was also a huge inspiration for artist Nicolas Ghesquière, former Creative Director of Balenciaga and current HBIC of Louis Vuitton (Bye Marc, I'll miss you!) as of like a week ago.
