[[ a person devoted to fashion clothing, particularly unique or high fashion. a person not to be called a fashionista would be someone who obsessively follows trends. REAL fashionista's do not believe in trends that type of person would be more correctly labeled as a "fashion whore". in today's urban society, fashionista is not by any means a negative term thanks to television shows like "sex and the city" the image of a fashionista has been modernized into a much more positive, powerful and successful feminine role. fashionista's simply look at fashion as an art, their own bodies as the canvas, and the sense of style they develop along the way is simply the masterpiece.]]
