Kurt Cobain would have turned 46 today. Considering the Nirvana frontman’s all-around greatness (and, of course, Spring’s grunge revival), we thought it necessary to remember the rock star on what would have been his special day. Judging by all the plaid, faded denim, and baggy, low-slung trousers, Cobain had quite an influence on the Spring ‘13 collections. For instance, while watching Dries Van Noten’s impossibly cool Spring wares glide down the catwalk (above, left), one couldn’t help but recall the iconic image of Cobain jamming on his guitar in a floral dress (above, right). (Fun fact: The musician wore a similar number on a 1993 Davis Sims-lensed cover of The Face). A flowery frock may not have been the most likely sartorial choice for a rocker, but Cobain wore it well. And he offered no apologies.
