The new Anna Wintour is just 13 years old. Her name’s Tavi Gevinson and her blog Style Rookie is up their with Vogue. She took a week off school to sit in the front-row at New York Fashion Week. She writes for Pop magazine. And she accessorises her outfits with upside-down dolls. Tavi describes herself as a, “Tiny 13-year-old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty hats…Rather cynical and cute as a drained rat. In a sewer. Farting. And spitting out guts.” Her blog, which includes images and videos of the latest shows, has a following of 4m readers. On the new Burberry show she comments, “I am normally not very into Burberry at ALL but they killed it this season. Especially by perfecting the awkward diaper curtain Balenciaga AW 09 skirt.” Her age only transpires through the odd phrase like, “I totally just out-pretentious’d myself. Ehh..” And the pink hearts she draws all over pictures of Marc Jacobs.

Thanks to sarah rabia for this story. sarah would like to be Tavi Gevinson just for a day.
