Frances Bean Cobain is the new face of Chanel 2008?

[m.j.]

Omfg!!!!

 

[LetThemEatCake]

this must be a joke. a very unfunny joke.

why on earth would karl let frances be the face of chanel when her mother had just recently worn a chanel fake?

Didnt you see Karl's photographs of Courtney in Harper's Bazaar after the fake couture piece? They became friends. And Karl began sending CL tons of free Chanel RTW among other gifts.
He referred to Courtney as "Perfect for what Chanel was in the beginning. The young Chanel was a rebel."

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.

may Kurt rest in peace

I remember when I saw Frances Bean in "The Osbournes" and her look at that time were most flattering ... Karl is obsessed with youth and trying to lure customers for the brand since their early teens ... that way theyll shop til they drop ... smart move

 

[cecil]

she looks like jared leto post chapter 27.

By using Frances Bean, Karl is trying to aim at the younger demographic because that will make more $$$. At the same time, I wonder if he realizes that he's forsaking the classical elegance and exclusivity that is Chanel's original image.

can't wait to see this joke come true

I'm sure it isn't true, but I think it would be interesting... she has very intense eyes, and could carry a campaign on them alone.

I don't think many girls look like this when they're 14 (at time of this picture)

chanel used to be soo classy and sophisacated, i cant believe that they were even thinking of courtney love! i blame karl for this change in chanel

 

[bluespring]

frances is hawtttt!!! whoever mentioned the channel is looking a young demographics to make dollars is clueless!

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

that wasn't Frances, that was Kurt's half-sister, Brianne.

 

[silk skin paws]

Hm I wonder if it's true. To be honest I don't see the appeal it's just another celebrity kid acting/modeling/whatever comes next.

 

[wrngco]

she has eyes like her father and if you think of her as her father's daughter ..not her mother's daughter then I get it....after all Karl dress LL and invited her to everything so compared Frances is good at least it's not like Rumer Willis
Celebuspawn is all the rage

 

[yourbestfriend]

So if it's not confirmed it's on option?. Anyways, I don't think it will go through but I also think everyone is being too hard on her. She's only 15 and from my impression she does not really deserve the flack she is getting as some of it is overly critical without need.

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 find her captivating

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.

 

[bern70]

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.
