fashionables
The chic set
Fashionables are people who follow or set fashion trends—the stylish set, the well-dressed elite.
The word treats fashionable as a noun rather than an adjective: The fashionables gathered at the season's most exclusive parties.
The term has an old-fashioned, slightly ironic ring, evoking nineteenth-century society pages.
