Was Jeremy Scott A Little TOO Inspired By Tumblr Teen Bloggers?
As a substantial number of our readers are in high school themselves (hi, guys!), we asked Emma, the blogger behind The Emma Edition and a connoisseur of all things teen (she’s 16!), to educate us on fashion, when it comes to all things high school and beyond. Today, she makes a few disconcerting points about Jeremy Scott's most recent collection, and its similarity to some of the very real teen-girl Tumblrs out there.

The other day I was sitting in The Center, the common space for students at my high school, and I overheard this part of a conversation taking place between two boys in my grade:
Boy A: “What is a Tumblr?”
Boy B: “I don’t really know, dude, but it’s like this blog web site my little sister uses to post quotes from The Jonas Brothers and stuff. She’s on it, like, 24/7.”
While it's true that Tumblr is a web site that's often manned by teen/tween girls reblogging imagery into the wee hours of the night just to create virtual mood boards to define their aesthetic, to define it as just a site full of pretty pictures and glitter font is undermining its significance in pop culture. Because it is a youth-driven site, Tumblr has had a huge influence on Internet style, and even the Internet itself.
