Actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, is jockeying between acting and fashion these days as she steps into the design studio presenting her first capsule collection for denim brand Current/Elliott.

At the launch event on Monday night at Colette in Paris the actress/designer told WWD, “I am glad it is not a one shot,” said Gainsbourg,“ I am settling into it.”

When asked about her inspiration, “I got inspiration from everything,” Gainsbourg commented. “For instance, I thought the marinière [sailor top] would be fun as I wore one in ‘L’Effrontée’ [the film she did at 14]. Also I love corduroy so a corduroy short was obvious to me.”

The collection is currently available at Colette, Paris and will be available globally the end of July. Gainsbourg’s collaboration with Current/Elliott will run for four seasons. www.currentelliott.com
