L'Officiel Paris October 2011 : Tavi Gevinson

[Miss Dalloway]

Hahah what a joke, not interested a year ago, certainly not interested now! What a ridiculous cover choice for this occasion.

Amen lol you're right on with that quote man + I love the cover image with the chair/her/the styling = good job. It's not about looking up to her, it's about being happy for her, she helps the generations of bloggers to be recognized by the fashion industry and it's about aknowledging younger people with talent! A word that has disappeared in a loooooot of magazines' offices these days

Tavi wouldn't motivate me to buy a magazine, but I like the way the cover presents a combination of youth and yesteryear - the granny-child sitting in the big chair, dressed like a grande dame who's going senile, yet also scribbling in a little notebook like schoolgirls do.

This is a joke right? She's relevant because....?

[navyvelvetbowtie]

I like it actually, It's kind of ironic to put "90 ans seulement" and her in front, even though I've never been a fan, or followed her blog, she is special, she became known for a reason, so I think whether we like her or not, It's a bit too hard to judge the decision of putting or on the cover, and personally, since the trend of little girls on covers was already around, I rather have someone who is really interested, rather than a child actress who I don't even know about

[KINGofVERSAILLES]

The styling is a little much

[KINGofVERSAILLES]

Also, I really just don't get the choice to put her on the cover. I want to be happy for her, but (and this might come off as a bit mean) am I the only one that thinks her blog is somehow... creepy/strange? Her obsession with The Virgin Suicides, her ruminations about the zeitgeist of eras when she was not alive, just... I don't know. I don't like her taste in general, her writing seems really self-aware, and she seems like a silly choice for the cover. Starting out, she was so young and I can see the appeal, but now she seems a bit irrelevant. The kind of things she posts about aren't really unique and she doesn't put a unique spin on them. Blogs along the same vein as hers, visually at least, are a dime-a-dozen on tumblr, etc. these days.

Seriously, Tavi? weird choice tbh but it's not a bad cover. Can't wait to see the content.

[justaguy]

^^^ HAHA, judelove! Good one!!
Seriously, the cover's not bad, but completely inappropriate for a anniversary issue!! Shame on L'Officiel Paris!
