Style mavens have been getting their Myla gussets in a twist over ‘tiny 13-year-old dork’ (her description) Tavi Gevinson, author of http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/ - an insightful and frighteningly adult-in-tone blog about what’s hot/ what’s not in fashion. Courted by influential designers such as Marc Jacobs and Yohji Yamamoto and feted by industry bigwigs - she’s currently Katie Grand’s cover girl for Pop - should the self-styled ‘Style Rookie’ be hailed as fashion’s new spiritual guru (the Dalai Lamé?) or dismissed as a precocious brat whose parents should have packed her outdoors to play in Wal-Mart denims rather than fester in her bedroom pondering whether Balmain-or-Balanciega would work better for her Bat Mitzvah? Rocking a subversive 1950s Polish librarian meets Madame Cholet Womble look while coveting Ashish Topshop’s animal print hooker wedges, I sense, in her, a true fashion original. Will it be Anna or Tavi editing US Vogue’s next September issue?
