I was gaga for Tavi Gevinson when she was just a 14 year old style blogger at home with her parents in Chicago. And then when she got the attention of people like Miuccia Prada and was getting free clothes to pattern clash the hell out of her funky unique style. Then she hit the big time and went to the Dior Couture show in Paris, which ended up a mess because she wore a high hat and blocked the view of actual editors and.. ugh… it was a mess. Forget about that. She redeemed herself as a great judge on Project Runway.
But you gather than in her short 20 year life, she’s had a lot happen. She has since starred on Broadway in “The Crucible,” and was overheard at a Coach show last week telling pals she’s penning the new tome.
“It will be about her experiences working on plays and her life here in New York,” an insider said. But “she has not finished it or tried to sell it yet.”
She also appears in the new Sundance movie “Person to Person.”
Btw, Tavi also made this delightful piece of New York Times #NewWayof Seeing series where she talks to a few artists about how technology changes how we appreciate art.
