▲'''The Fashion Club''' is a [[Lawndale High]] school club, concerned with the promotion of "looking good," both through example and the critique of others. They have ''extremely'' high physical and social standards for admission: there are strict requirements for weight and fingertip length, and [[Brooke]] had to have extensive plastic surgery to get the point of ''possibly'' getting membership.
The Club is generally assumed to be one of the most powerful cliques at Lawndale High. The members are presented as being highly popular and at all the right parties. In early episodes like "[[Malled]]", they could get boys to drive them anywhere they wanted just on the promise of getting to hang out with them; they abused this by making the boys stay in the car during their shopping trips, and eventually boys stopped giving them rides ("[[Legends of the Mall]]").
Line 12 ⟶ 7:
The Fashion Club was officially disbanded at the end of the ''Daria'' series, with all four members deciding to take extended sabbaticals. However, since the four immediately started making plans with each other to fill their newly freed time, it can be wondered if the club is as dead in spirit as it is in name.
It's made clear throughout the show that they're ''very'' bad academically. In Quinn's case, this turns out to be because she's bright but is deliberately not trying hard enough. She knows she's smarter than the others and expects to get higher marks (but doesn't let on about this), and was worried when she didn't get a much higher score on the P-STATs in "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]". We don't know for sure if Sandi is dumb or just lazy, but we ''do'' know that Tiffany and Stacy just aren't that bright - "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]" has Stacy noted as trying to learn and not doing well. Stacy ''does'' do better on P-STAT scores than both Sandi and Tiffany though. While Sandi expresses contempt for the idea of academic learning, she still pretends she got higher marks than she did so she didn't seem dumber than the rest of the group.

While the Fashion Club are an official school-sanctioned club - they are referred to during a school assembly in [[The Old and the Beautiful]] - they seem to lack a faculty adviser or any sort of oversight. They have an internal charter and by-laws, which is quite byzantine - "[[Antisocial Climbers]]" implies Sandi is making up the by-laws but it's the only episode to do so.
Line 54 ⟶ 59:
In "[[The Daria Diaries]]", Stacy's minutes record that they discussed more members but "concluded we should keep it exclusive so people have something to strive for."

Line 69 ⟶ 74:
The Fashion Club didn't think much of Daria, but as "Quinn the Brain" shows, the girl unnerved them: an attempt to talk to Daria went tits-up because none of the three had the guts to talk to her.
As what the Fashion Club means to Daria, that nightmare scene in "[[Monster]]" said enough.
▲==Web presence==
The two original MTV ''Daria'' websites gave the Fashion Club their own website and online presence, the first in 1999 and the second in 2001.
