Tavi Gevinson – Signature9

Hot Tranny Best: Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington and Tavi Done In Drag

Racked spotted this editorial titled The Devil Wears AnnaÂ on Frockwriter and we had to share. Originally appearing in one of the first issues ofÂ transversal magazine Candy, this is the type of wig and makeup show that demonstrates a bit of originality. Ahem,Â Kanye West Monster maker, take note.

We think they’re dolls (or good candidates, at least), but drag versions of Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani sitting next to Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington and Tavi Gevinson are pretty fun too. Have to say that there’s one glittery blog star missing from the lineup though: how do you do a tranny tribute and not include one paying homage to Bryan Boy? That aside, there’s something about seeing a version of Anna Wintour with hairy arms that’s endearing.

7 Fashion Barbie Dolls We’d Love to See Under the Tree

Ana Lorena Garcia — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:46:49 +0000

She’s been de-cankled by Christian Louboutin, survived more than 50 years in fashion, taken a turn as a Mad (Wo)Man, had more jobs than anyone we can think of and has even picked up a warning from the FBI and caused a mini-scandal (proving her chops as a true fashion icon). {MSNBC} We’re referring, of course, to Barbie.

While millions of kids will probably unwrap one of those famous pink boxes this Christmas, there are a few yet unrealized fashion dolls who would be fantastic to see in plastic.

Tavi Does Tokyo!

Tavi, our favorite pint-sized fashionista, is at the top of our “envy” list now that she’s been announced as Rei Kawakubo’s guest-of-honor at the Commes Des GarÃ§ons holiday party in Tokyo next Friday.

We think it’s great to see how fashion bloggers like Tavi — who start out with absolutely zero connections — can make such a splash and inspire both everyday people and the higher-ups in fashion. Style is something that everyone can (and should) be a part of, and the incredible influx over these past few years of fantastically-heeled (yet incredibly personable) fashion bloggers helps to instill a feeling of intimacy in an otherwise intimidating industry.

Bon voyage, Tavi! Bring back lots of stories!

Tavi Gevinson is

Rachelle Robinett — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:43:13 +0000

A thirteen-year-old fashion blogger from Chicago with a penchant for Rei Kawakubo, an impeccable eye for vintage finds and a charming sense of humor.
Attending the shows and after parties wearing homemade (and self-proclaimed â€œobnoxiousâ€) headpieces, an upside-down doll in her pocket and the compliment of a fashion editor who likened her style to Anna Piaggiâ€s
On the cover(s) of Popâ€s first issue since the re-launch.
Blogging for them too.
(According to her blog): â€œlike annoying photographers that follow cool people around only with a crappier camera and obsession with customized jacketsâ€.
The champion of New York Fashion Week, and quite likely the next few decades.
