A fashionista is someone who follows fashion, or is involved in the fashion industry. This term is sometimes used in a mildly deprecating way, suggesting that fashionistas are obsessed with fashion at the cost of other issues of importance. As a general rule, however, fashionistas are not offended when people call them such, and many use the term in self reference, like a badge of pride. This term often crops up in trend-setting magazines, for example, and it also appears in books and news articles as well as radio and television coverage of fashion.
A number of derivations of the classic fashionista can be found. A recessionista, for example, is someone who tries to dress fashionably on a limited budget, using creative means to remain stylish in the face of adversity.
