When the student becomes the master

Tavi Gevinson, with her Mia Farrow-esque hair and diminutive stature is the fashion industry's current obsession. Since the inception of her blog in March of 2008, Tavi has traveled to New York for fashion shows, worn custom clothing by Rodarte and interviewed the likes of Kirsten Dunst and Amy Astley.

Just when her I thought the pixie dust had settled, Harper's Bazaar invited the thirteen year old to contribute a column to their magazine. People often question the genuineness of her talent, stumbling over the sheer size of her fashion knowledge. I think it is wonderful that someone so young can focus themselves so well and challenge the perceptions of an insidiously difficult industry.
