Who started Rookie magazine?
Style Rookie, Gevinson’s fashion blog, debuted in 2008. The blog, which featured photos of the 11-year-old in unique outfits as well as her commentary on the latest fashion trends, began attracting nearly 30,000 readers per day. Her father was “not terribly interested” in her new hobby until she asked for permission to be interviewed for a New York Times article about young bloggers.
Gevinson was invited to New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week as a result of the success of her blog. Pop magazine paid for her fashion-related trips to Tokyo and Antwerp, and she was commissioned to write articles for Harper’s Bazaar and Barneys.com. She styled a shoot for BlackBook magazine, modeled for Rodarte’s clothing line at Target, and collaborated with Borders&Frontiers to design and sell her own T-shirt. She spoke at a marketing conference in New York in 2010 as well as at Idea City, Canada’s version of the TED conference.
Gevinson’s early success in the fashion industry drew criticism. New York magazine questioned whether she could write her blog without “the assistance of a mother or older sister.” The Daily Telegraph’s Sarah Mower chastised her father for pulling her out of school. Elle’s Anne Slowey called her success “gimmicky” and said, “She’s been thirteen for like four years.”
Tavi Gevinson Gossip Girl
She appeared as Kate Keller, an English teacher at Constance Billard who, tired of being bullied by her students, leads a ring of teachers as “Gossip Girl” in the American teen drama streaming television series Gossip Girl. Because of the HBO Max streaming service’s lax standards, Gossip Girl will have more adult content than the original on The CW. The show will also be more diverse, with non-white leads and LGBT characters. It takes place in the same world as previous characters and can be freely referenced and potentially reappear, but it features a different cast of characters from a different perspective.
