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.

First challenge, design by Ping Wu

Project Runway returned on Thursday.

They’re back in NY. And they have a great lineup of contestants this time out (based on their portfolios). Tony is really funny, going to be the breakout comedy/drama personality. We’ll see how long he lasts.

The first challenge was a great intro; a chance for the designers to show off their styles. There was some crying and timing issues – but hey, it’s Project Runway.

Watch full episodes here. And follow former contestant (and old friend) Nick Verreos’ blog here. Always enjoy reading Nick’s take on things.
