Think outside the box?

You know I love secondlife and I really love fashion and great quality clothes, but I do have a question for you -
What has happened to diversity?
Once upon a time the fashions of SL excelled at being different and I know every designer will shout when they read this but as a consumer aren't you finding that most of the big labels in SL are becoming more and more the same? Designs so similar they could almost have come from the same person. Yes I know each is individual, I know every designer is proud of their individuality but designs is SL can be so much more than they are for these names.
But then do we as consumers buy what we feel safe in? Do we end up wearing the same things we would in RL?
I am talking on a general level here and definitely tarring all with the same brush, but look at Secondlife, check some of SL fashion blogs for yourselves even hair styles they are becoming more and more like the real life stores - off the shelf basic fashion.
So where is the diversity? where is the fantastic designs that are POSSIBLE in secondlife as they are not in real life?
Is it possible that Residents are moving towards a copycat world?
There are some designers out there who make sure thier designs are 'not possible in real life' but these are few and far between and I think struggling as people move more towards the big name brands. Also maybe the content theft issue has most consumers scared of buying from unknown designers? How do they know the outfit/hair design they have bought is a genuine resale or a rip from a big name designer? The ordinary resident doesn't, therefore they play safe by sticking to the big names.
Are consumers killing creativity by always buying the same outfits they would wear in RL?
I would value your opinions as this is just mine........................
