Frances Bean Cobain is Marc Jacobs' new muse
Frances Bean Cobain has been named the sole model for designer Marc Jacobs' spring and summer 2017 collection.
The quirky New York-based fashion designer broke the exciting news on Wednesday (25Jan17), noting he has been a fan of Frances, the daughter of rockers Courtney Love and late Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain, since she was a baby.
"I first met Frances Bean when she was 2 years old at a dinner with
her mom (Courtney) and Anna Sui in 1994 at Bar Six in NYC," Marc
recalled on his Instagram account under a black and white photo of
24-year-old Cobain wearing a gorgeous, embellished lace dress he
designed. "I have always wanted to work with Frances. Her beauty,
uniqueness, and strength is something I have long admired and
respected."
Meanwhile, Jacobs' longtime muse's divorce battle with estranged
husband Isaiah Silva is back in the headlines after she demanded
the return of her father's 1959 Martin D-18E acoustic guitar.
Frances has filed legal papers asking a judge to help her get it
back.
She claims Silva has been looking after the instrument her dad
played during Nirvana's MTV Unplugged show since she filed for
divorce, but her ex insists Frances gave it to him as a gift, and
therefore it's his to keep.
