Logo/type for logo design often goes through trends, See:

Which are often correlated to "fashion cycles" which are reactionary:

bell bottoms -> skinny jeans

Tight, form fitting -> Loose relaxed

(there are others, I'm sure you can find)

So fashion brands shifting will last 10-15 years, and then they will probably switch back towards "traditional".
