Frances Cobain for Chanel, maybe

Filed under: Style in the News


Earlier this year, media stories from the UK suggested that Gisele Bundchen was creating a $200 million diffusion line with Dolce & Gabbana and Katie Holmes was creating three outstanding collections for Giorgio Armani.

Both reports ended up being completely false. So, we're aren't going to hold our breath on this most recent extraordinary story from UK.

For a few months now, rumors have been flying around the Internet that Frances Cobain -- the daughter of the late Kurt Cobain, frontman for Nirvana -- would be the next Chanel campaign girl.

Apparently, Frances' rock star mom Courtney Love has successfully convinced designer Karl Lagerfeld to feature her daughter in his Chanel ads.

Yeah, right.

Karl has been using 90s supermodels Christy Turlington and Claudia Schiffer -- whom he just shot for another campaign -- for a couple of seasons now. So, we doubt he's going to swap the glamzaons for the teenager.

Tapping the grunge babe admittedly is a cool idea, but unfortunately we think this is just make believe.
