1. 15 year-old Tavi Gevinson was interviewed by BCC News and eloquently addressed all the sh*t she gets from the fashion industry. She started her first blog, "
Style Rookie," at 11 and she has since encountered criticism for her age. In her interview, Tavi said,
“When I went to fashion week for the first time 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 is kind of ugly, it just doesn’t sound very legitimate. And fashion, as an industry, has been really behind on being online and so I think people were confused and angry that someone younger than them had kind of figured it out. You know, 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.”
