Fashion Words

A fashionista is a slang term for people who like fashion. It can be anyone: a supermodel, a fashion designer or even a student who loves to wear something stylish and fashionable. A fashion victim is a person who wears popular trends and looks really ridiculous because he/she ends up looking like a store mannequin.
