Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, or furniture. "Fashion" refers to a distinctive; however, often-habitual trend in a look and dress up of a person, as well as to prevailing styles in behavior.
WHAT IS FASHION VICTIM ?
“It's a person who crosses the boundaries of fashion and style, like
taking a fad too far, or wearing too many trends at once and
therefore taking the look from the glamorous to the ridiculous.”

You’re consider a fashion victim if :
Brands are of utmost importance for
you. You can spend all your salary
on a Gucci bag and then live the
whole month with an empty pocket.
It is essential for you to have
a fashionable piece from the
latest collection.
You copy the reputable fashion
icons’ styles blindly.
You are fond of makeup. You have fake
eyelashes, your hair is dyed or you have
hair extensions.
Your tan is fake and you have tanning
beds more often than it is really
necessary.
You believe that clothing can be
uncomfortable but it should be beautiful
and fashionable.
Shop for styles you like.
Accept your body.
Know your sizes.
Set a budget.
