That noise you can hear that sounds like a brick in a washing machine on a fast cycle is
Kurt Cobain spinning in his grave at the news that his daughter is wanted by
Chanel to be the face of their new range. Karl Lagerfeld (74) has expressed an interest in the
15-year-old schoolgirl (and that's how Roman Polanski's problems began) becoming the focal point of a new advertising campaign.
Is it because she's pretty? Well, she's not that pretty but she does have the very attractive feature of that 'Cobain' surname. A 'friend' who remains curiously un-named said:
"She's only young, but there's a lot of interest in Frances. She is incredibly pretty and has the most perfect porcelain skin. She and her mother are having talks with Karl."
She and her mother. So at the age of 15 she is one of the last pieces of Cobain's legacy to be flogged off by his widow in the pursuit of money.
Trainers, his daughter – what's next? The 'Kurt Cobain Luxury Shotgun' range?
