Today, Tavi is 15 years old, and is as disinterested as ever in competing with fashion’s “popular kids.” Instead, she has found her own ranks as the editor and founder of Rookie Magazine, a media platform for teenage girls. While the lingering model of fashion magazines emphasizes chic as “sexy,” as in Disney’s manufacturing of pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Tavi is all about enlightening her viewers to those like comedian and author, David Sedaris, who admires Japanese designers for removing sex from clothing. While “oddball” is in and everyone is now dressing in cute, granny, vintage dresses, Tavi is not afraid to admit that she wants to be pretty at this age, but does so in the most original and unconventional sense. Her LA “tacky outfit,” as she calls it, reminds her of the psychics and pastels in the City of Angels, and is comprised of an off white cotton skirt from her childhood dress-up box, a vintage bright colored 60′s printed top, gold D & G platforms, and a crown that is made out of little houses that she got from a joke store. Tavi’s notoriety for pushing the boundaries, no matter the norm, has made her “that girl” to many, but she is all too knowing and grounded to think that “that girl” really exists. Whoever your “that girl” is for you, “she” has another girl that she looks up to too, Tavi points out.

Passionate about connecting to the world through her possessions, Tavi says that for everything that she wears, there are a million different associations and cultural influences. Her “perfect” black, Wednesday Addams vintage dress is worn with cobweb wool tights by her favorite designer, Rodarte, and a headband of pink flowers that makes Tavi think of Hitchcock’s Vertigo. Her most coveted witch-hearted Meadham Kerchhoff sweater is taken from her favorite Hole album art and is worn with a thrifted cheerleading skirt that reminds her of the 50′s references in John Waters’ movies and is accentuated by her black lipstick, which Tavi wears to explore a different side of her attractiveness. Tavi’s acute perceptions can be seen in how she aesthetically catalogues her things, including everything in her packed-full room, which alludes to ideas like the creepiness of Disney, the fantasy of Lux Lisbon in The Virgin Suicides, and her nostalgia for when fashion was still magical to her, as represented in the Lula magazines on her shelves.

Seeing the world through Tavi’s unusually attuned vision is refreshing and illuminating, whether she is pointing out her shock after confronting the sullen faces in the front row at NYFW or her honesty about sitting at home on a friday night eating a box of Triscuits and watching a movie. The way in which Tavi has organized her vision of the world through her blog, outfits, enviornment and diaries might best be presented as a movie, she claims. Stay tuned, today’s black sheep of the fashion establishment will be the next generation’s Woody Allen. Power to the people (and the internet).

It is mostly the romantic, seductive and streamlined beauty of the late ’30s and the Art Deco aesthetic that Savoia considers to be the epitome of a time when the world was at a creative and design peak, ranging from fashion and architecture to automobiles. In an effort to live in his visual fantasies, his clothing shop on the LES is like stepping into an inviting time warp, from vintage cuff links to his ’58 custom Harley Davidson Bobber parked outside that he rides everyday. A meticulous perfectionist when it comes to the eye, you won’t find Savoia in just any high-waisted trousers, rather the ones that really sit on your waist. The details of a cuff, if not French, are a Stove Pipe, laden with a richness of contrast stitching and contrast buttons that are only a small part of the love that goes into any one piece. He is part Errol Flynn in the distressed vintage leather trench coat that I wanted to take home and a more fit, slightly rock and roll Al Capone in a velvet vest with satin piping, pinstripe pants, earrings and tattoos. And don’t let his tough exterior of a scarf tied under the traditional apple jack hat in buttery classic black leathers and dark shades fool you. Savoia is as endearing as they come, with tattoos for his mom and daughter among the the many sentimentalities on his arms. He is obsessed with setting the stage, playing the part and “dreaming in an awakened state.”

Natasha’s passion for authenticity is so charming in her Gena Rowlands-inspired pink pants suit that she bought on a whim in Palm Springs and rarely wears out, but loves because she can see herself hosting a talk show in it, but only one that is on par with her favorite emcee Dick Cavett. A lover of unique and authentic personalities (from Bette Davis to Graham Parsons), Natasha yearns to bring back a TV show like the aforementioned one, because the legend himself took the time to delve into each person he interviewed to the point where he might actually sing a song with them, “not like today, in and out in ten minutes.” Natasha says that she always has an icon in mind when dressing (“there are no secrets anymore”), which ultimately synthesizes into something that is soley her. This is probably best epitomized by the mix of her children’s Oilily multicolored furry jacket that she calls her “Seditionary sweater on acid,” her grandmother’s Victorian mourning ring, her favorite coconut bag and her uncommon use of white accents, as in the Casio watch that she likes to wear because she doesn’t look at her Blackberry as much (she doesn’t like to be one of those people that always has their nose in the phone) and her Pierre Hardy wedges for Gap. Whether she is “Courtney Love as a fairy” in her chiffon dress and star print tights or finding virtue in a plastic Bank of America-giveaway flower power necklace, style is emotional to the point of intellectual for Natasha. On the legend Peggy Moffitt, who is still has the same Vidal Sassoon haircut and is in Rudi Gernreich everyday, Natasha says, “she doesn’t look like a child or a teenager. She doesn’t say, ‘this worked for me back then.’ She just looks like an icon.”

Amber loves her vintage monkey furs, but what makes them and everything she wears poignant for her are its details, origins, and loss of breath when she sees it. Her excitement is palpable when she explains how she found the original owner’s picture in the pocket of one of the furs, with the date of the photo of New Year’s 1949. The photo now sits in a frame on Amber’s mantle, as if the woman in it is a relative, making explicit the chilling and considerable emotional connection that antique clothing and its context has for her. She attributes her obsession with the beauty of detail to her Native American roots and the beadwork she would do as a child in Chicago. The appreciation for authenticity can be seen in everything Amber either owns or makes, from the original edition Vivienne Westwood pirate squiggle-print boots (that are signed by the designer) to her exquisite hand-made silk dupione blouses with the perfectly oversized french cuffs. She has both a strong passion for the feminine “lush” of the ’20s and ’30s, like her peach chiffon sheer dress – I love how she wears it with black thick tights and her go-to floppy hat. And then Eduardian-inspired, tailored men’s suiting, like her own designed three-piece suit, made to be serious with lots of buttons and unique lining and fun by pairing it with shorts. Amber’s infatuation with drama and tradition has led her to open a shop on the Lower East Side of bespoke clothing, where she can fully explore and bring to life her crush on the meaning behind the inception of the most time-honored prototypes.
