They actually found the guy who coined the term, and he was riffing on "Sandinista" (which was my initial assumption just based on the time)https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/04/i-apologize-for-inventing-the-word-fashionista-20-years-ago/275048/ …

And the term Maxxinista is a reference to the Nazi general Tobias Jürgen Maxx.

quite the opposite, as far as I understand. The suffix "ista," meaning a devotee or follower was popularized following heightened publicity of Latin American marxist groups like the Sandanistas. (First recorded appendage to "fashion" according to MW is '93.)
