Fashion Squad (group)

The Fashion Squad was a group of mostly female Smurfs (and one male Smurf) that appeared in the story "The Fashion Squad" from the Smurfs: The Devereaux Story series. It consisted of Smurfette, Eska, Britze, Mona, Glacia, and Vanity as its primary members. The group existed for the purpose of elevating the status of female Smurfs to be of equal worth as their male Smurf counterparts through fashion. However, Smurfette became rather controlling of the group when she insisted that its members should not fraternize with male Smurfs that were considered "non-feminist". When Eska's friend Spiro needed a rescue in the Smurf Forest and Smurfette insisted that Spiro could get himself out of his own situation without anybody else's help, Eska decided she would rather risk leaving the group in order to help her friend. Eventually Smurfette realized how controlling she became of the entire group by insisting on her ways of dealing with her fellow male Smurfs and ultimately decided to disband the group.
