Someone who is obsessed with fashion and clothing.

It also means a rack that clothing is hung on, which is where the more common modern usage came from.

The original meaning was a hinged wooden frame upon which laundry was hung to dry indoors in case of bad weather. In the fasionable sense of the word, Dandy, Fop and Poppinjay also applied.
