There is a difference between appreciating menswear - which is fairly static and is focused on craftsmanship and quality, intended to last forever - and fashion, which is an industry whose primary purpose is to convince people that what they were wearing six months ago should be too embarrassing to be seen in, and that the must now buy the following new things that are "in". The former reduces waste, the latter encourages it.
Not that I'm opposed to fashion designers or anything, it's a valid form of artistic expression. Its use as a symbol of worth or status, I have no time for.
