The News: Kurt Cobain Inspires a Young Adult Novel

Good idea or bad idea: a fiction novel based on Kurt Cobain's life? According to MTV, Dirty Wings is a love story that that follows the progatonists "as they find themselves going deeper and deeper into a world of music and evil — along with Maia’s Kurt Cobain-proxy lover — from which they may not be able to extricate themselves." Intriguing, that's for sure...

The Inspiration: Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux's Miu Miu Campaign
