Line 15:
==As a School Club==
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 one.
Sandi Griffin has stated she founded the club.
==The Club's Place in the Lawndale High Social Order==
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
We do hear admission policies being discussed in the episode [[Fat Like Me]]. There is an [[Accessory Committee]], which includes (and may consist solely of) Tiffany.
==The Fasion Club's Mission Statement==
From their website (see below):
"To lead the Lawndale High School populace in all matters of attire, personal adornment, and garmentual self-enhancement. To support fellow students in achieving their appearance goals, even the hopeless ones with greasy bangs and rough, dry elbows. To spot trends, reflect upon them, and critique without malice or favor (like why are all those girls with thick calves jumping on the Capri pants bandwagon?). To maintain standards of dress in school hallways and classrooms using the time-honored tools of philosophical enlightenment: logic, gentle persuasion, and vicious, relentless ridicule."
==The Club and Daria==
Line 35 ⟶ 43:
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.
==Web presence==
The two original MTV ''Daria'' websites gave the Fashion Club their own website and online presence.
Their first website was That Lawndale Look, made pre-2000. Sandi was the webmaster. The website was created "to inspire higher wardrobe awareness and heightened grooming excellence. Because you people need it so bad." It ran monthly articles by the members, a guide to them, and a copy of the Mission Statement.
In 2001/02, they'd created Selective Soulmate, an online dating site for popular people: "It's hard enough to match accessories (especially greens), so how likely is it that you'll meet your perfect match among the panting losers at the local high school?" The website was so exclusive that "so far" the only members ''were'' the Fashion Club (and they intend to never let other girls in). Sandi was looking for a long-term (and wealthy) relationship, Tiffany thought three months was long-term, and Stacy admitted she'd change anything about herself if a guy would prefer it that way. (They'd also created a profile for Daria, in the hopes that a boyfriend who wasn't Tom might take her out of the house when they're there.)
