Smells like teen spirit ... Cobain's girl for Chanel
Karl Lagerfeld is renowned for discovering new faces, and I predict his latest muse will be his most talked-about yet.
The 74-year-old designer with Chanel wants to sign up Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Courtney Love.

Karl Lagerfeld is keen to sign up Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Cobain
Frances has already appeared in several upmarket American magazines
Despite still being at school, 15-year-old Frances, whose father was rock star Kurt Cobain – famous for grunge rock anthems such as Smells Like Teen Spirit before his suicide in 1991 – has already appeared in a number of upmarket American magazines.
"She's only young, but there's a lot of interest in Frances," says a friend. "She is incredibly pretty and has the most perfect porcelain skin.
"She and her mother are having talks with Karl about Frances appearing in his next ad campaign.
"Courtney is concerned about Frances pursuing a catwalk career at such a young age, so she has been involved in all the talks so far."
Mind you, the news that Lagerfeld is so taken with Frances might come as an unwelcome surprise to po-faced actress Keira Knightley – who is the current face of the French fashion house's Coco Mademoiselle perfume.
