They are to "fashion" what last weeks fish is to "fresh"-- they had their 15 minutes of fashion fame, and now fashion has moved on to something else.

I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said something like "The trouble with trying to look fashionable is that one is apt to end up being anything but fashionable."
