A fashion icon becomes just that- an icon, because they do something different. They dress differently, look differently, and have an aura; a presents that speaks differently. To say the least, Tavi Geveinson is a very different girl. As a 16 year old blogger and stylist, she has paved the way for a whole new generation in fashion. Her look doesn't represent the mainstream look of beauty, it's about personal expression. I love her character that bleeds through her clothes and her fearless style that incorporates a vintage and futuristic attitude. Each item that she owns is symbolic to her, bringing out a whole nether element to her styling. Watch the video above to see footage of Tavi, her clothes, room, and her views of style.

With the new year of 2013 green, Tavi Gevinson has made her stylist appearance more than ever. Discovered by her blog, The Style Rookie, at the young age of 13, Tavi has never failed to show us the cutting-edge of fashion with her very much personal and quirky style. At age 15, she founded the "Rookie Magazine" and before that was featured in not only Teen Vogue, but an issue of French Vogue. Now 16, her opportunities and spotlight have only increased as well as her style compass.

Tavi's institution of an completely new and inexplainable fashion has been made tangible to the day-to-day girl reading and observing "the Rookie" magazine and blog. Although difficult to emulate Gevinson's precise style, aspects are frequently borrowed by teenage girls, and grown women alike with the message of bringing out your own quirky differences within your clothes. As eminent designer Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” Tavi Gevinson is a prime example, never losing her style and taste with the ever-changing fashions surrounding us. I for one, have been utterly inspired by Tavi Gevinsons stylist choices and message. What she wears breaths; leaks the upmost elements of her personality with color, pattern, and shape. Here are some pictures of Tavi and her clothes (photo courtesy of StyleLikeU):
