Hi friends--
I happen to love reading Tavi Gevinson's blog, The Style Rookie. What's expected: witty, engaging prose. Lots of on-the-scene runway pics. Creative stylistic pairings--lace, puffy layers, plastic drugstore barrettes.
What's unexpected: She's like, 14. Literally, 14. And a freshman in high school, who also happens to attend all the important fashion weeks.
I envy her--the time she has, the talent, the opportunity to be young, yet sure-footed. She's emphatic and opinionated--while being self-assured and very knowledgable. Who else is at that age? Without sounding childish and spoiled?
Good for her, I say, with some wistfulness. Now if only I could wear what I loved everyday...without incurring the wrath or scorn of the imposing in-crowd elite...Here they come--I'd better cower in my locker...
Thanks for the link. No really, THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI have just spent some 90 minutes delighting in the prose of this wonderful talented thing. And she's 14 - actually 14 and all the designers send her things because clearly... she's an Old Soul.
I'd say she's going to be something big but I suspect she already is.
Thanks !!!!!!!!
Tavi is amazing!
