It may be a little more fine-tuned and peachy due to most working in it being far more socially aware of what is in and what is out, but I'm sure most would agree that this is true for any group of any specialized work force.
The industries very existance is in fact a reinforcment of judging that is frankly unnecessary. And in my personal opinion you'll be judged and scrutinized based on your income rather than "fashion". That's what it comes down to, and it's a shallow way to live to be quite frank.

...Making it fickle, it's not only very judgemental about the whole in and out phases, but changes, quickly. All because of rarity really, technology is ever changing because it grows efficient, that's a pretty terrible comparison.

Who wants to wear the same thing for years to come?
While most people don't buy things straight off the runway, other brands and clothing lines derive from it.
No fashion, no designers= no new clothing styles.
You like, you don't need. And the perspective of it's industry is not only on what it produces but it's attitude it presents. In my opinion the industry is no more fake/shallow/unforgiving has being an actor in hollywood. It's a huge conglormorate that says "buy this because we think it looks nice generally", there's no importance to that, like at all.
