Teen The Portmanteau


Grazia has crowned Emma Watson as winner of the Paris fash-off. Ok so I know I’m a little prejudiced because I hate all things Harry Potter, including Hermione, but come on. She dresses like a rich 50-year-old instead of the teenager she is. Her style is so obviously foisted upon her and her make-up is way too “perfect”. Being a famous teenager is, I would imagine, quite tough and there are various fashion pitfalls that privileged youngsters must try to avoid. Becoming a clone of Gossip Girl’s Lily van der Woodsen like Emma is a definite no-no as is dressing like a trailer park resident à la Miley Cyrus. Instead teenagers, famous and civilian, should take a leaf out of Georgia Jagger’s book. Georgia does dress like a sixteen-year-old, but like the prettiest, kookiest, cutest sixteen-year-old you could ever hope to meet. Her messy blonde hair, gap-toothed smile and slightly scruffy but very pretty ensembles combine to make her the most enviable teenager of them all. Check out this month’s Vogue for a photo shoot with the beautiful Georgia and some of my other favourite teenagers including, Nicholas Hoult and Hannah Murray (Tony and Cassie from Skins).
