Tavi Oh Tavi!!!
Believe it or not this little lady from Chicago, Tavi Gevinson is only 13 years young and started out as a fashion blogger/writer on the 31st of March 2008 at the age of 11. I feel sick!!
She refers to herself as 'a tiny 13year old dork that sits at home all day wearing weird antique hats and jackets'
She named her blog Style Rookie and then her sweetest dreams kick-started from there. Her parents had no idea what their daughter was getting up to until she needed permission from them when the New York Times needed a picture of her for an article they were writing about her. Her blog was initially assumed to be a fake created by a fashion insider.
This young fashionista is being referred to as the darling of downtown by the likes of Alexander Wang, March Jacobs and most of the high end fashion designers. She has been featured in numerous magazines like Teen Vogue and has her own seat at the front-line of fashion weeks as a Muse and a VVIP.
She has managed to also partner up with Borders+Frontiers, a London fashion brand. I'm running outta breath!
She took a week off school to attend the New York Fashion Week. Her father, who's a teacher, was escorting her from one venue to the next, waiting outside while she was welcomed in.
'I'm very surprised at how things have blown up' said Tavi.
She's was quoted saying that most of her schoolmates don't read her blog, therefore resulting in them not understanding her style, but some actually do.
Things I'd do, souls I'd sell down the drain to be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Gwen Stefani, Michael Kors...and this youngen is not even bothered but is just pursuing what she enjoys.
Jay-Z was right about Luck bestowing itself on those who always stay ready.
Stay Ready!
