Designer fashion is mostly statement pieces meant to be worn only on the occaison. You need fast cycles to keep the statement exciting and fresh.

The fashion cycle for boring yet functional clothes are much longer.

And more specifically, runway designs have short lives. It's the ready to wear items that are informed by runway clothing that comprise the "boring yet functional" clothing most of us have.
