On the other hand, your definition means only ONE person can be a ground-breaker. I think of it more like a bell curve of adoption: there aren't many people out at the tail ends, but there are probably more than 1.
Anyway, often my choices are made without any awareness of how it is "supposed" to be done, or how other people are doing it. This is especially true of clothes. I make my choices because of my own idiosyncratic requirements and preferences, not because I think "Oh, this is a better way!"
