Reporter Watches Dior Show Through Tavi's Hat (PHOTO)

First Posted: 03/27/2010 5:12 am Updated: 05/25/2011 3:20 pm

At the Christian Dior show earlier today, a reporter from newspaper Grazia was none too pleased to be seated behind 13-year-old fashion blogger (and Style Game Changer nominee) Tavi Gevinson.

"At Dior. Not best pleased to be watching couture through 13 year old Tavi's hat," tweeted the reporter, who then posted this photo:

I am not buying this whole bit. This kid belongs in school with the rest of the kids her age. She knows nothing about fashion besides diapers. "She's a child star!" always has a parent behind it proclaiming so.
Rating the "Bratz Dolls" fashion is all a 13 year old is equipped for and don't tell me otherwise.

Maybe when you were 13 you weren't able to do much, but everyone is different.

Blondie & Lisa: Tavi's parents are raising a self-absorbed, self-important, ego-maniac, I have seen pictures of her. She needs to learn how to be a child first. It's great that Tavi has a fascination with haute couitour, good idea; but at the same time she is indulging in a very adult world, this is not about Tavi, this is about her parents living out their dreams through her. We're going to be reading about her going to "Rehab" in the next couple of years, then everybody on here thinking she's so cute will be blaming somone else for her problems, let that child be a child, let her dream a dream but let her grow up first.

You should write fiction! You have a great imagination.

I love this kid! I wish I had half her spunk and self-confidence when I was 13.

why is this child sitting in that chair when she should have her little behind in school. there is nothing even remotely cute about this child, her partent should be jailed for her not being in school with other children her age.

Ditto. I'm not a fan of kids trying to act like adults.

Well, at least her mom typically goes with her, so she's not out there wandering around a child alone in Paris! Not a bad place to be though. But you know, I wonder. Have you ever read her blog? Some of it sounds like a 13 year-old. But some of the references sound like they are things someone older, like a parent from Norway, would remember about European fashion in the '60's and '70's. I keep wondering whether her mom is ghostwriting parts of it for her. Her dad claims not to have known she was writing her blog 'Style Rookie' until after the world started to notice. No word from mom though. Not sure I'm buying that story.

I think public schools are evil, boring, teach us absolutely nothing except to be good little obedient consumers. . Kids used to be mentored and work with their family in the family business, learning how to be productive rather than a mindless consumer. I think this is great, all kids should learn hands on business and this is fun not like the boring rotten propaganda we learn in school.

I also have no problem with her being there. I think that traveling will be a much more valuable experience than going to school for that one week instead. And I don't think that she has a ghostwriter either. When I think of how I was when I was thirteen I was just as obsessively knowledge about my interests. I don't think that she has anyone writing for her, especially given the tone of all of the writing being so unique, I saw rock on.

Now you... You know the score. ; )

That's a hat. I thought it was the entryway to St. Louis.

Bravo to Tavi for keeping it real.

Was the anger really at the hat or that the fact that they were seated behind a 13 year old blogger?

There have always outrageous hats at runway shows but if it really bothered the reporter so much they could have asked her to remove it.
