Tensions between Fashion and Modernity

During the renaissance, fashion seems to have accompanied modernity due to their common premises: throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the reinforcement of modern thought developed in tandem with the exponential development of the fashion industry, that was to rapidly touch society as a whole, from the aristocracy to the bourgeoisie down to the ordinary people in the villages and countryside via servants and fairs and markets. Even more recently at the beginning of the post-modern era, a technological age characterised by changing and scattered ideas saw the emergence of a very industrialised, polymorphous, differentiated fashion. So, what is the nature of the link that connects fashion and modernity?
A shared aversion for inertia due to a need for progress and novelty? However, doesn’t fashion represent the very negation of modernity as it imposes itself on the subject as a thing in itself? And what if this union was but a symptom of modernity going slightly off the rails?
