Categorization is a part of the American outlook on life. The food industry has foodies, locavores, and gourmets. The fashion world has fashionista, muse, and socialite.

What interests me as trend spotters is the cultural spin on the iconoclasts and creations that we collectively eat and wear. A pair of Christian Louboutin shoes do not make a fashionista in the same way that dining at The French Laundry does not make a foodie. Experiences, restaurants, and apparel should do not define us.
