Do You Speak Fashion?


Now days we all can notice new fashion terms popping up from different sources, I would love to share some with you!

Fierce


A compliment, meaning you look aggressively attractive, sexy and cool, which has become popular after almost constant use by Tyra Banks on America's Next Top Model to describe the contestants she thinks have done well. Often used sarcastically backstage at fashion weeks.
Use it: Honey, that mini-dress looks fierce. So does your giant up-do.

Trashic


Combination of the words tragic and trashy. A description that's so bad that its almost a compliment.
Use it: Oh Britney, shaving your hair off like that was so trashic.

Vintage


You may think that you know what this means but if you've been listing the Esprit jumper you bought last winter on an internet auction as "vintage" then you do not. Last season's clothes are "used clothes". Vintage implies some kind of pedigree.
Use it: This exquisite 60s shift dress is vintage. That blue Esprit jumper you bought three months ago is not.
