If we had a kid, it would probably be a bit like Tavi Gevinson. Stylish, unique, sarcastic. Highly influential 13-year-old fashion blogger.

Follow her adventures here.

If we did have a kid and it wasn’t Tavi, we’d probably mess it up because we’d want a Tavi.

It’s probably a good idea that we don’t have kids.

‘The season’s inspiration is a dreamy take on schoolgirl crushes and fairground iconography sharpened with teen angst. Accessories in a palette of the most delicious sun bleached colours and summer brights mix with whimsical prints found on our womenswear, scarves and footwear.’

And big hair.
