Archive Clothing - Fashion, or Collecting?

Archive fashion is a hugely popular subgenre of fashion and one I'm personally interested in - but is it really "fashion" in the traditional sense? What separates being into "archive" fashion vs fashion as a whole? Is it actually closer to collecting? With people seemingly buying pieces more for their perceived value than wearability, or just to flesh out gaps in the archive, it certainly shares a lot of DNA with people hoarding rare coins. Are you more into archive fashion, or trendy, current-era fashion? Are they actually distinct in your mind, and where do you draw the line? And do you see any pitfalls in buying pieces more for a collection's sake than filling a hole in your wardrobe?
