I only know what I know so prove me wrong. I think almost all other forms of art, from music to television and cinema to sculpture and mixed media and painting to dance all have proletarian channels, but fashion is almost exclusively for the wealthy. Arguably also it seems to me that a lot of culinary art tends to cater to the wealthy too, so fuck that as well.
You're probably right in general, but I've just watched Paris is Burning and then binged through Pose, so, hard disagree. The ballroom scene of the 80s had some great fashion and none of them were rich at all.
Pose is what prompted this in the first place. The trans women of color on the show are all poor, but several characters are aspirationally rich and attempt to adopt a bougie lifestyle and appearance, which is what doesn't sit quite right with me. Like that Louis Vuitton you just shoplifted was inspired by the looks you created and had stolen from you, burn down the fucking shop instead.
