She creates a colorful planet around her – I must say!
I’ve heard about this girl since last year. But I didn’t care much about this little Fashion Blogger for 2 reasons: I was not into Fashion that time…AND… she gave a messy impression for me when I looked at her mix & match.

…except her hair color – grey – and the big pink bow on her head at the Paris Haute Contour show. That reminds me about Lady Gaga and her bow made of hair.

From her style, I’m sure I am seeing the sense of Alexander Mc.Queen, Harajuku style and Lady Gaga. Definitely, she is the huge fan of Alexander Mc.Queen since many pieces of her articles were mentioned about his design.
Why people glorify her?
Even though her mix & match and entries are a bit messy, it shows her creativity as well as the knowledge that she has in Fashion Industry. She is considered as a phenomenon in Fashion. It will be very hard to find another young age girl as good as her in writing and styling.
The ideas of combining exotic colors and mix those “kiddy” garments together with vintage style or gothic/reepy pattern…soon are adopted by the people industry .They seems to be enjoying the fresh air in what Tavi has been done so far.

Some predict that she will be the second Anna Wintour in the near Future. However, there are still a lot of fashion designers do not like Tavi’s style. To them, Tavi is just a kid; her comments and creativity will die soon. “It feels like it’s happened all of a sudden and at some shows this season the front row was just all bloggers. I think it will die down though, and people know what they are doing. No one who wants to read a serious review of a show is going to look at what a 14-year-old thinks” – Christopher Kane fashion designer shared his thought with Vogue UK (Halpern, 2009).
Do I admire her?
The answer is Yes. But No!
- Yes!
- chasing after what she likes
- do not mind to spend hours updating for her blogs
- going out and taking picture herself with tons of clothes on her tiny body

- playing with colors and mixing them
I guess, that’s why they categorize her as Genius in Fashion Industry.

- But No! Why? – Simple answers
She loves Fashion as what she has been sharing with the publicity. She falls for those garments, accessories, design, hair trends and colors. I don’t deny that her look book is interesting – full of colors and style. However, she does put them in all the sense of “kid” Art. Why do I say so? Because kids like colors; playing with textures; following every trend; treating what they have as toys.
What they usually say: “Have the new and forget the old”! Does she know how to appreciate the old things?
Moreover, her mix and match does bring the inspiration for others, but they never appear widely. They admire her; however, they dare not to follow her style yet. Well, in this category – so called the influences – she might learn a lot from Lady Gaga whom impressed and led people with her bizarre style.
I like the part when she talks about trendy and edgy terms. Haha!
