Amongst the high profile crowd of fashion designers and editors, an unusually fashion forward 13-year-old girl was bound to have made couture show attendees do a double take.
Chicago's Tavi Gevinson took a fairy tale story to a whole new meaning when her blog, Style Rookie, took her from her small town home to the photo shoots of Rodarte, pages of Harper's Bazaar and seats at top fashion shows.
It is hard to pinpoint how the musings of a 13-year-old girl have attracted over 22,000 readers daily and rendered her both a sensational and controversial figure in the fashion world. Perhaps it is a mix of her impressive style, sharp wit and spot-on writing skills, but regardless of the reasoning, Tavi has managed to make fashion editors both smile and scoff.
This vivacious girl has taken blogging to a new level and has transcended the constraints of her age and gained considerable popularity. Her age and inexperience may ruffle the feathers of more established bloggers and fashion writers, but I believe that talent can arise from all places and people, in this case a small midwestern pre-teen girl. As is written in the URL of her "Style Rookie" blog, Tavi is absolutely the new girl in town and appears to be as fearless as her style outfit choices.
