Tavi Gevinson gives Jimmy Fallon a lesson in bitchface, hilarity ensues

By Laura Borys September 13, 2012

Jimmy Fallon got giddy with now 16-year-old and well-known fashion blogger and Rookie mag founder, Tavi Gevinson. We don't blame you, Fallon, It must be hard to suppress the teenage girl inside when you've got the hippest one sitting right next to you. Seeing this "rookie" make it big simply by following a natural love of style is frustrating for anyone trying to break into the fickle world of fashion, but we have to give props to young Tavi for sticking with her ultra-hip fashionista aesthetic that is nothing but true to herself.

Fallon was especially excited about her recent release, Rookie Yearbook One, the first publication from her magazine, celebrating its first year in existence, showcasing a particularly poignant article on the art of "bitchface." For those of you who are unfamiliar, bitchface is the subtle technique of articulating passive-aggressive tendencies often exhibited by teenagers and, quite frankly, those in the fashion industry. Tavi seemed impressed with Fallon's skills, but it's clear Gavinson is the master.

Take a look for yourself below.
