THE Tavi “more notorious than the Betsey cartwheel” Gevinson: 16 years old household name in the fashion world.
When she was 11, she created a blog, "Style
Rookie," that captured the attention of designers, editors and many
industry insiders! As the ‘unknown’ once said, “This was the first day of the
rest of our lifes”
At 11 Gevinson was receiving invitations to New York Fashion
Week, appeared on artsy magazine covers also becoming close buds with Kate and
Laura Mulleavy, aka the Rodarte sisters.
Currently at 16 Tavi is StyleRookie's founder-editor, and
her imprint is everywhere, from a DIY tutorial on "How to Turn Your Tights
Into Knee Socks"! :o --à http://rookiemag.com/2012/09/knee-socks-diy/
What inspired Tavi? Why a fashion blog? Of all the blogs did
she ever think HER’S would be “the one”?
“When I started Rookie, there were a lot of girls like me
who had fashion blogs and loved getting dressed up and thinking about appearance,
not in a stressful women’s magazine way, but in a creative way. I can
understand how some feminists who’ve fought against things like style or beauty
defining all women might feel confused about how we can discuss self-esteem and
being your own person but also write so much about fashion.” –Tavi
We’re excited to see what Tavi G does in her future in
fashion. She had made quite the name for herself and was/is living out every
fashionistas dream before hitting her Freshman Year in high school! Will we see
a clothing line come to life in the near future? What hot male arm candy will
we see in Tavi’s future? Do you think
she rocks out to J ‘believer’ Beiber? And our biggest question would be, what
next for miss. Gevinson?
