Tavi Gevinson: 13 Year Old Fashion Blogger

New York, Sep 23 (THAINDIAN NEWS) There have been many fashion bloggers in recent times but thirteen year old Tavi Gevinson has emerged out of nowhere and grabbed all the attention of fashion followers. And what is more is that, at the tender age of thirteen, she has become the darling fashion trend setter of the elite fashion class.

Tavi was invited as a special guest at the recent New York Fashion Week and shared the front row with the likes of Maria Cornejo, Marc Jacobs, Yohji Yamamoto and Alexander Wang. Her blog “Style Rookie” is one of its kind and has already grabbed the desired attention of the stars.

Tavi describes herself in her blog as, “Tiny 13 year old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty hats. Scatters black petals on Rei Kawakubo’s doorsteps and serenades her in rap. Rather cynical and cute as a drained rat. In a sewer. farting. And spitting out guts.”

At the tender age of thirteen when other children like her are playing games and studying hard to up their grades, Tavi is all set to rock the Fashion world with her weird outlook and style. The youngster has already been photographed and is seen on the cover page of various magazines. She has also been offered by the editor of ‘Pop’ magazine, Dasha Zhukova to write a fashion column for the magazine.

Kate Mulleavy, who is famous along with her sister for their Rodarte label, says of the little genius, “Tavi makes you think about things differently, makes you see things differently.”

There are some critics out there that are expressing their concern that Tavi, and those like her, are too young to be “thrust” into something like this. They talk about the dangers of our young exposing themselves too much through blogging, and then all the pressures of being involved in the intense and fast moving industry of fashion.

I can understand the concerns about exposure on the internet, but there are dangers everywhere. From just reading about her a little bit, this Tavi seems like a young girl with an old soul. These critics need to be less worried about our creative, and independent minded youth, and be more concerned with these little girls:

AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I can’t stand it when parents parade their little children around like young adults, splattering their innocent little faces with caked-on make-up so they look like tramps. And the way they have to move on stage.......ewwwwwww, makes my skin crawl! There’s just something terribly wrong with having a 4 year old girl prancing and sashaying around on stage like she was 25.

Tavi = thumbs up

4 year old vapid beauty queen in training = thumbs down x infinity

i agree and mothers and fathers dont understand why there are there are perverts and child molesters..now i understand there would be these people regardless but it seems to add to it as well...what in the hell possesses one to dress up your prepubescent daughter up like she should be walking down Michigan Ave at 3 am...jus sayin

...really though...is it a real surprise that I think she rocks!?...Or that I used to dress in as much of the same style as a child (albeit, in a SLIGHTLY more masculine fashion)....
