Chanel Eyes Cobain 'Teen Spirit'

Posted Apr 28, 08 11:51 AM CDT in Arts & Living,  Gossip 

(Newser) – Karl Lagerfeld wants grunge god Kurt Cobain's 15-year-old living legacy as the face of his next Chanel ad campaign, the Daily Mail reports. Rocker mom Courtney Love keeps a tight leash on Frances Bean Cobain, who posed for a number of mags earlier this year, so no deal has been struck yet. 

"She's only young, but there's a lot of interest in Frances," a friend tells the paper. "She is incredibly pretty and has the most perfect porcelain skin."
