This character is, quite simply, a character whose defining trait (or a prominent trait, if she is a [[Rounded Character]]) is being well-dressed and extremely interested in fashion. The Fashionista is often a woman, save for instances of [[The Dandy]], or a [[Camp Gay]] guy (whether or not he is a fashion designer). The Fashionista will invariably love to shop, read [[Fashion Magazine
Sometimes, The Fashionista makes her own clothes, usually if she actually works in the fashion industry or wants to. She may [[Really Gets Around|Really Get Around]], but it is not a requirement. The Fashionista is usually skinny; it is uncommon to see a [[Hollywood Pudgy]] one, and in more [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|cynical]] shows, she may have an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia.
An older fashionista may be a [[Foxy Grandma]], a [[White Dwarf Starlet]], a [[Stacy's Mom]], or say "[[I Was Quite a Looker]]." In movies and shows from [[The Eighties]],
It's worth noting that a fashionista doesn't necessarily have to follow the fashion mainstream. For example, a [[Goth]] girl can be (and often ''is'') a fashionista - this just means that she shops more Hot Topic and less everyday stores. Similarly, a [[Tomboy]] Fashionista can exist, and she'll probably be spending that clothes money on fancy workout clothes, jerseys and sneakers instead of shoes and dresses. These "alt" fashionista depictions are still somewhat rare, but they ''do'' exist, especially given the mid-to-late-2010s emphasis on a more personal definition of what's fashionable, as well as the older, more formal style falling off.
If the audience does not consider her a fashionista, this is [[Informed Attractiveness]].

* Shiki from ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' has a talent for sewing and mentions bringing to life the designs of her friend Erika.

Although by ''damage'', Shiki means "one of your buttons is slightly coming off."
