idolater

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he's concerned with his image' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'badly tailored' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'tailored' anagrammed gives 'IDOLATER'.

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
