Although I still think this probably wont happen, the idea of Karl having Frances in mind as a muse for a campaign isnt so far-fetched after he got to know both of them and developed a fascination with Miss Love.

Yes, I saw that article. But I thought Karl just forgave Courtney. I didn't know that they became good friends, and that suddenly he felt like rewarding Courtney with free clothes.

i agree with strawberry which make more sense
frances got this interesting feature and background

sometimes you have to go beyond norms to make news
and sometimes you dont have to be fashionable, sexy or pretty to be in campaign

You're joking, right? And it's Chanel, not Channel (sorry it just REALLY annoys me... since all those kids wearing fake CC's can't even spell it right and it gets on my nerves)

Anyway, the most LOGICAL explanation is the $. Because that's what makes the world go 'round.

I can absolutely see this happening. We all know Karl loves celebrities.... Frances Bean is Lisa Marie of her generation. I reckon Karl would want to feature her before anyone else does.

I'm not sure if Frances should be doing Chanel at this moment. She is 15 and LOOKS 15. I agree with an earlier poster that she's better off doing Marc Jacobs or any other brand that some 15 year old is more likely to wear. But as for her not having a model's body. Avril Lavigne doesn't exactly have a model's body either, yet she was a Chanel spokesceleb for a while.

sorry i cant spell right! ;/

anyway i dont think lagerfield would do it for $, even if were not talking about younger demographics

they spent like $46 million for a 3 min film, do you really think they care about $$$ if they decided to cast frances??

since everyone is bitching about it
it does make good publicity maybe that would make good money

Ridiculous...only famous for her parents...

Is she even famous? I didn't even know her before this article.
That said, I find her cute. I don't know if she's the best choice, but for all the bashers: I'm pretty sure most of you react this way just because it was mentioned who she was.
I wish nobody knew who she was, then see the prints and be all "oh wow, these are fantastic" and such.
About her being young - Paradis and Moss weren't much older when they did Chanel either. Nothing new here.
About Chanel being for the fashionable classic look - I don't even know what to say here. Beehives, motorbike gloves, studs, etc etc...

Oh no! Anyone who slanders my bb, Karlie, is gonna get slapped yo.

^ i want to see some bitch slapiiinnnnnzzx

She could fit; they're taking a risk, but it's so much better than playing the safe-card.

I'd actually like to see this. I think that she could be quite stunning with the right direction. I like her look, and I don't care that she isn't a model. There IS something about her, no matter how old she is. But then, I'm no expert in all of this, I just speak from my own personal opinion

Courtney wrote in her blog about Frances having a huge contract with a big fashion house coming up...so perhaps this isnt a rumour.
