Style Counsel: Tavi Gevinson Plays Dress-Up With Christine Staub
WEARING THE STUDIED GRIMNESS THAT IS DE RIGUEUR of fashion's sirens, Christine Staub makes her print debut in the September issue of Blackbook.
Staub is the teenage daughter of a certain debauched N.J. housewife rumored to have released her own home-grown porn. But for the sake of the woman-child, we'll not name her here.
Rather, let's praise the young Staub who convinces in this shoot styled by fashion prodigy Tavi Gevinson that she is model material.
While New York magazine aptly writes that the spread has Tavi's "signature 'hanging out by the aluminum siding at 4 on a sunny afternoon feel,' " there's also a beguiling sophistication to the pictures, and to Staub's modern languid poses.
That the anointed and intelligent Tavi is around could bode well for the younger Staub. Fingers crossed that after enduring her mother's shame, Christine's not so needy or so ill-guided that she becomes yet another fashion victim.
