Tavi Gevinson, the teenager who amazed everybody with her fashion skills when she was just 13-year-old talked to BBC about how the fashion word has received her.

 ”I went to fashion week for the first time when I was 13. People were confused about my being there for a few reasons; one was that I was a blogger. The word itself, ‘blog’ it’s kind of an ugly word. It just doesn’t sound very legitimate. And fashion as an industry has been really behind about being online, so I think people were confused and angry that someone younger than them had figured it out. They would talk about how inappropriate it was for someone my age to be at fashion week. But this is coming from an industry that fetishizes youth!”, she said.
Tavi is now 15. She’s bright, funny and honest. She has all she needs to be a good writer about anything, but especially about fashion if that’s what she likes the most. So no sexism and ageism should bother her. People are just jealous.
