"Fashion police" is a term which refers to the idea of an imaginary police force that make sure that people dress according to fashion. The term is jokingly used for self-appointed individuals who criticise the clothing others wear, and thereby those others' fashion sense. The term can sometimes be used in a disparaging sense, holding that the fashion police have a narrow, rigid or uncreative sense of style or propriety, or it can be used with approval of what the presumed judgment of the fashion police would be if present ("Somebody call the fashion police!"), if the speaker believes someone has committed a fashion faux pas.
Us Weekly magazine has a popular section titled Fashion Police, where comedians poke fun at celebrity fashion disasters.
Quote Unquote magazine has written a story on the band The Fashion Police, who were formed in the 1980s. (See: myspace.com/fashionpolicemusic for more.) They wrote a New Wave style track titled "The Fashion Police" to poke fun at some aspects of the fashion industry.
