“I’m representing what a general, standard, average human girl would look like wearing these clothes. I think that’s why Marc picked me for this.” — Frances Bean Cobain

A post shared by Marc Jacobs (@marcjacobs) on

“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.

I have always wanted to work with Frances. Her beauty, uniqueness, and strength is something I have long admired and respected.

Few things remain as constant as my continued inspiration from those whose honesty, integrity, courage, and curiosity lead them to explore and venture beyond preconceived boundaries.- themarcjacobs
