When I was younger fashion to me was about matching what I was wearing with my favourite tele tubby, but not anymore...low and behold the rise of the pint sized trend setters.
Heading the stakes David Beckham's eldest son, set to be announced as the country's 26th most fashion-forward male in the country as unveiled by GQ magazine. The young star was listed ahead of Prince William and Jude Law. Shock-horror! GQ described young Romeo (Posh's offspring) as, "frighteningly tuned in". So, it seems Romeo has out shone even his father at the ripe old age of 8, how embarrassing. David Walker Smith, director of menswear at Selfridges, told the magazine "[Romeo] is experimental, quirky and fun, and his style has nothing mini-me about it. It's me-me".
In 2009 Victoria Beckham spoke about just how interested in fashion her spawn had become saying: "We had dinner last night and Romeo wore a suit with a little shirt and tie. That's what he would wear every single day, he's so into fashion". (Interview with Victoria Beckham for Harper's Bazaar).
And it doesn't stop there as last September, it was reported, that Romeo would be launching his own range of sunglasses, to be called RB after his mother's famous VB brand.
He is not alone, as many young bucks reign supreme as satorial innovators and even mini brands in their own right. Other lil fashion gods include; Suri Cruise, Willow Smith and of course Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon. They seem to be popping up everywhere. This all comes as one of the most popular fashion blogs in circulation is 13 years old US blogger, Tavi Gevinson. She has been a permanent fixture on the front row for some time now and has been in Vogue. Her wacky outfits and precocious musings have won her fans including Karl Lagerfield.
But fair enough, Tavi has her own blog and seemingly no style frenzied parents. As for the others, I can't help but think that surely at that young age any major fashion choices these younglings are making is slightly directed by their parents. Especially young Romeo, with Victoria Beckham as your mum your hardly going to be wandering the streets in Asda's george trackies and a primark sweater.
