For those of you who are not familiar with Tavi Gevinson, let me introduce you. She's now 14 years old, but established herself at 13. She loves fashion, blogs about fashion and therefore gets to attend front row seats to major fashion shows internationally. Mind blowing. Her blog is called Style Rookie and you can follow it for yourself if you like.
Gevinson told UK VOGUE in a matter of fact kind of way that Y3 was her favourite show in New York, and that she also couldn't go past Marc Jacobs. Here's what she had to say about him, taken from the interview. "It is quite amazing we are at a show of a luxury label and we're standing in a giant cardboard box," the blogger laughed. "The juxtaposition is interesting. He cast girls from the street in his show. I think Marc's secret power is that modesty - and his connection with the street."
With such a talented vision, this young writer is already a keeper. I just hope she lives it fully; there's a little too much that reminds me of ill fated Isabella Blow or Alexander McQueen about her. She could, however, and I wouldn't put it past her, be the next Anna Piaggi of Italian Vogue bless her. Creativity please don't eat her up.
Tavi, it's nice to meet you.
