How would you define fashion victim? A person wearing odd things? A person wearing something that isn't in? A person wearing a non popular brand of clothes? A person wearing inappropriate style?
I don't have a definition of what a fashion victim is. My style is my style. If they don't like it then they can ignore me. But i don't want to give people sore eyes by wearing something that is horribly unacceptable at all. What's horribly unacceptable in my own definition is an odd combination of bright colors that can ruin other people's eyes! I stay away from those kind of styles.
There are celebrities who have strange fashion style and to some he or she could be considered a fashion victim but for others it's just a new trend!
I like to have my own style, my own fashion, and my own identity!

see, this is what i don't understand!!
is a fashion victim:
a. someone who dresses horrible and has no sense of fashion, whatsoever?
or
b. someone who is completely obsessed with fashion, a victim to fashion, and wears every single current trend down to the finer detail?

Yes, you can see that people here have their own definition of a fashion victim. It's quite interesting how it could vary.
But yeah i have my own style as well. I love Gwen Stefani and her blonde hair.

I consider a fashion victim as someone who always up-to-date with the fashion trends.Every new latest fashions will caught their eyes. That is what I consider as fashion victim. Strange fashion that looks new trend and creative is one of the concepts that may lead others to fashion victims. I don't see them as creative and great at all~ Me prefer my own style. I don't go with the latest I always slow on that....never refer to the trends to be who I am ..(^^)

I refer to the trends but i don't follow them. Maybe i'm just inspired by their style but i don't like following what everybody else is wearing.

My definition of fashion victim is someone who wears whatever is in style whether it looks awful on him/her or not! I know someone who is a little overweight and looks downright gawky and even weird in those short pants, but she's in style... It's a wise woman who knows her own style and has the courage to wear it.

For me a fashion victim are those people who wear clothes that's isn't appropriate in an occasion, or weather. Or simply wearing shades while texting and it's dark, i just saw one in our office lately.
I don't use "signature" clothes i wear " signatorial clothes", that's how a beauty queen comedian say it. I Wear mostly clothes from pre loved shops I'm just makin it sure I'll wash it carefully, I use my mom's clothes, she got a good eyes for colors so I wear her clothes I like it. If they say I am a fashion victim because I am not in, i will answer them "I don't have a luxury to go get in clothes just to wear them in a little span of time, i'll wait for my own fashion to be in"...:)

That's a great pic that you attached. where did you get it? if you don't mind me asking....
A fashion victim is someone who follows every trend and tries to be hip and cool by wearing what is currently en vogue.
Thereby the term Victim... they have fallen victim to the trends of society and have really no fashion identity of their own.
Keeping your own style and not following the trend, makes you an individual--not a fashion victim.

My definition of a fashion victim is someone who does not look comfortable in the clothes they are in. We have all seen those people who put together the most unusual ensembles. However, I have seen many of them carry them well and receive compliments on the wardrobe because they are confident. I mean, let's be realistic. I don't always love the latest fashions (some are pretty scary) but confident people can pull it off. If you are comfortable and confident in what you wear, who cares what everyone else thinks. I think I look good in everything I wear and am pretty confident (without being egotistic) about that when I am out and about. That is not to say that everyone else thinks so but I dress for me and no one else =) Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

It's so true. It's all about confidence and being bold! If you can carry it then you can look as fashionable as those who claim they are!
