I planned to blog on Paris Fashion Week, until I read this: Tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com. At the age of 13, this young fashionista and blogger extraordinare has managed to amass thousands of loyal followers, who read about Tavi's exploits at Paris Fashion Week, or how she just died her hair blue. Did I mention she's 13?
With her dry wit and unmistakable eye for fashion, Tavi's close to achieving the kudos that took Anna Wintour years to achieve, she just doesn't have a book written about her yet. SHE'S 13!!
Unbeknownst to her parents, Tavi began the blog at the age of 11. They found out when she asked for their permission to appear in the New York Times. I used to ask permission to go to the cinema.
Tavi's blog, Style Rookie (might I add, she's far from a rookie) has been creating a stir in the fashion industry for quite some time. She's appeared on the cover of POP magazine, and is a muse for Japenese fashion designers. This all begs the question, does she go to school??
My main concern at the age of 13 was what I'd wear to the youth club disco. She'd wear something vintage, and impossibly cool. My mom wouldn't let me wear a mini-skirt.
Reading her blog, I feel a mixture of admiration and...jealousy. If that's who I'm competing against, what hope in hell do I have!
Anyway, I digress.This wasn supposed to be about news, damnit! Ok, it's ruffles and nudes for Spring/Summer 2010. Jean Paul Gautier wants us to wear sombreros, but never mind him. Karl Langereld wants us to look like Lady Gaga and for men to wear suits made out of tinfoil. It makes me wonder why I want anything to do with this industry.
I really should have been more productive with this blog.

I like this. Heard of Jean Paul, no idea who Karl is, and I'm sorry, I just don't do tinfoil. TF
