A fashionista is a person obsessed with fashion, be it a designer, promoter, journalist, or simple follower of the latest sartorial trends.
The term was coined in the 1990s by combining ‘fashion’ with the suffix ‘-ista,’ meaning ‘follower of’ in several Romance languages.
All the fashionistas have the latest Louis Vuitton bag.
