Fashionism

Fashionism is an ideology rampant in the fashion industry that prioritizes commercial interests, conformity, and stifles genuine creativity. It is characterized by profit-driven motives, the suppression of innovative voices, and marginalization of independent artists. Fashionism perpetuates trend-driven consumerism, favoring mass production over craftsmanship and profit margins over artistic integrity. It hinders true innovation, diversity, and authentic artistic expression.
Etymology:
Coined by the renegade brand Treasonous Dzyne, Fashionism emerged as a critique of the industry's commercialism and stifling of creativity. Treasonous Dzyne, an underground collective of rebellious artists, aimed to expose the suffocating grip of profit-driven motives and standardization in fashion. Their vision challenged the status quo and attracted like-minded individuals.
"Fashionism" spread rapidly among those disillusioned by the industry's soulless nature. It became a rallying cry against the commodification of fashion, symbolizing the desire to break free from conformity and reclaim artistic integrity. In the urban fashion lexicon, "Fashionism" represented defiance and the fight for authenticity, individuality, and creative liberation.
This movement united artists and designers striving to rewrite the rules and bring true artistry to the forefront. Fashionism" empowers artistic rejuvenation and diverse expression.

Fashionism has permeated the fashion industry, dictating trends, standards, and creative directions. It imposes a straitjacket on the imagination and limits the opportunities for artists to thrive.

Under the oppressive influence of Fashionism, the industry becomes an assembly line of diluted designs and recycled ideas, hindering the emergence of fresh perspectives and original voices.

Critics and advocates alike decry the suffocating impact of Fashionism, calling for a revolution that restores the industry's creative spirit and nurtures the talents of genuine artists.

fashionistette 

Not quite as shallow as a fashionista, but someone who deeply enjoys fashion and looking good. A fashionistette can be intelligent, worldly, and cosmopolitan, knowledgable about the world and considerate of people around her. Compare to metrosexual (and note that, in women, no one suspects looking well-groomed and fashionable has anything to do with their sexual choices). Fashionistettes and metrosexuals have the flavor of retro and classic Vegas -- they are "just swell."

Everyone loves having Betsy at parties. She's a fashionistette, she can talk about anything, she brings bubbly and she shows up with these incredible examples of metrosexual hunkiness. Having Kat over isn't as fun; she's a fashionista, a bitch, and nothing else.
