Fashion is a term that usually applies to a prevailing mode of expression, but quite often applies to a personal mode of expression that may or may not apply to all. Inherent in the term is the idea that the mode will change more quickly than the
culture as a whole. The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current popular mode of expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for
glamour and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal
art, through which a culture examines its notions of
beauty and
goodness. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for
fads,
trends, and
materialism. Fashion capital cities are actually
Milan,
Paris,
New York, but other cities like
Rome,
Tokyo and
London are becoming very famous.

This is a gently sarcastic term for a person who is an enthusiast for fashion. It covers not only the dedicated followers of fashion who wear the clothes, but also those who write about them.
