I think designers are caught in between two worlds. The world of originality (art) and the world of popular fashion.
We're accused of imitating if we see a new trend and assimilate it, and we're seen as 'outsider' if we create something different.
I agree with winter on the content aggravation.
There is so much imitation. Content, or depth of design experience is important. An artist or designer creates a framework of perception and then works off of it. Someone that explores the world and has something new to add to art or design, is more influential. Their vision is more likely to be original. They can bend themselves to interpret many different ideas.
One thing I like about fashion is how quickly it changes. I would never rule out the importance of a 'one trick pony' designer if they really nailed just one thing. I'd be looking at them again to see if they made more work.
I've learned to respect, listen to seasoned designers and adore flash in the pan designers.
