Tavi Gevinson thinks Seventeen magazine has a body image problem — and she is not mincing words.

Jon Hamm recently took the hot seat in Rookie Mag's feature Ask a Grown Man to dispense dating advice to young girls. How does Rookie always score the best guests? The answer, I suspect, is Tavi. It always comes back to Tavi.

Rookie founder and high school student Tavi Gevinson gave a talk at a TEDxTeen event about "strong female characters," feminism, and how the narrow ways in which popular culture views women impacts teen girls, both in fiction and in real life. It's funny and astute, and Gevinson calls for more TV shows with…

When I woke up this morning, I was pretty sure that I had dreamed the whole part of last night where I went to a remarkably friendly and not-too-crowded fashion party at the Standard hotel and drank vodka from a beaker that was served to me by a bartender in a white lab coat and danced to the Spice Girls and…

Because it's a Wednesday, so why not? We already knew Tavi Gevinson could sing, but the 15-year-old editor-in-chief of Rookie — along with Kathy Bates and Christopher Lloyd — also voices a forthcoming animated short film called Cadaver. In one scene, her character sings Neil Young's "Heart of Gold," the favorite…

Tavi Gevinson, the 15-year-old editor, blogger, fashion writer, friend of Iris Apfel, mentee of Ira Glass, Jezebel contributor, and wearer of hats, can add one more item to her list of achievements and talents: the girl can sing. Here she is doing a pretty great rendition of "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell.

I learned last night that when you get Iris Apfel and Ira Glass in the same room, good things happen. The party co-hosted by Tavi Gevinson and Ari Seth Cohen, the man behind the old-people-with-a-mad-knack-for-dressing-up blog Advanced Style, is the most fun fashion party I've been to in a while. There were home-made…

Fashion blogger, high school student, Jezebel contributor, and fashion writer Tavi Gevinson launched her new site, Rookie yesterday, which has already published plenty of interesting stuff, including an editor's letter in which Gevinson lays out her vision for the publication. Gevinson says that experiences like…

Lady Gaga used her latest V column to praise 15-year-old blogger/freelance writer/high school student Tavi Gevinson, and shit-talk New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn. (Horyn once wrote a blog post expressing mild dislike of a Versace dress the Lady wore.) "Why have we decided that one person's opinion matters…

Awesome Chicago resident Tavi Gevinson talked to awesome Chicago exile Ira Glass about one of her upcoming publishing projects. No, not the book, not the freelance contributions to various publications, not the other book, not the website she's apparently launching with Jane Pratt: Gevinson revealed more details of…

• Lady Gaga will serve as the "Music Director" for her pal and stylist Nicola Formichetti's first show helming the recently revived label Thierry Mugler. Rumor has it that Gaga will be unveiling songs from her forthcoming album. [WWD]

• This new French L'Oréal ad is like celebrity spokesmodel whack-a-mole. We spy Beyoncé, Patrick Dempsey, Jessica Alba, Freida Pinto, Claudia Schiffer, Rachel Weisz, and Jane Fonda... It's funny to watch them all say, "Parce que vous le valez bien." [YouTube]

• Worst-selling, that is. Swift's April Elle issue sold the fewest copies of the year, and her covers of Glamour and Marie Claire were nearly as bad. Blake Lively bombed on Vogue and Esquire, but weirdly sold well for Allure. [WWD]

• Tom Ford: "I feel that fashion has become too serious...Fashion needs to make one happy. It is a luxury and should enhance one's quality of life." Ford also believes in, wait for it, "real clothes for real women." [Racked]

• Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have reportedly been indicted on tax evasion charges in Italy. In 2004, the duo transferred their brands to a holding company; they could be found liable for $1 billion worth of taxes and fines. [WWD]

The Style Rookie/Daria fan/preteen who is constantly stylin' on everyone took to her blog to announce that she and Jane Pratt, founder of Sassy and Jane magazines, are going to work together to make some Sassy magic for today's teens.

• Detmar Blow and Tom Sykes are trading jibes with Lauren Goldstein Crowe over their dueling Isabella Blow biographies, both of which hit U.S. bookstore stores this week. Everyone is sniping at everyone over the email, sometimes in ALLCAPS!!!

• "I want a guy who takes charge, but lets me have my say once in a while," Taylor Swift says. Only once in a while, though! Could this explain why she's been dating older men?

• Today, brave teenagers and students will protest Abercrombie & Fitch's Fifth Avenue flagship for pumping that hideous stench into all of its stores, and transforming them into retail hellscapes. They contend that the disgusting cologne is an environmental hazard. [StyleList]

• TheGloss's Jennifer Wright: "I genuinely believe that one day Tavi will be the editor of Vogue." [NYPost]
