Tavi Gevinson is a Chicago-based middle schooler who began Style Rookie when she was only 11 years old. Since the birth of her blog, her fame has blossomed full throttle. She has already been featured in the New York Times magazine, Teen Vogue, French Vogue and Glamour Magazine, grazed the cover of Pop Magazine and was named "Vogueista" by Vogue Italia. Not impressed yet? She has been honored by Rei Kawakubo (founder of Comme des Garcons) and Miu Miu, has skipped school to attend the Paris haute couture shows, inspired Rodarte's line for Target and has attended New York Fashion Week. TWICE.

Regardless of all of her public accomplishments, this girl sure knows her stuff. I mean, what 14-year-old do you know that can look at a dress and instinctively know that it is from Alexander McQueen's SS03 line? Not only is Tavi's blog insightful and educational, it is also really refreshing. I always enjoy her collages, especially the ones shown above, and her ramblings about school, friends and parents are so honest and nostalgic. Tavi is definitely a fashion blogger to look out for and I'm excited to be one of her tens of thousands of readers watching her grow up into a remarkable woman.
