I think this is a magnitude and direction argument.

Fashion is changing direction still, however it's cultural magnitude is much lower because "out of date" styles don't actually stop being produced.

The other issue is that for RTW there's not really any significant mainstream evolution of new clothing, people aren't really mainstreaming tech wear, they're mainstreaming tech-wear lite for the finance bro office.

RTE

Sorry I meant RTW, ready to wear, the segment of clothing that is typically what you shop for. Haute Couture is the segment of clothing that goes down runways.
