If it comes down to "the fashion item to have" then turntables are
a much stronger contender.

Really? I *very* much doubt that turntables will ever be a "fashion
item"
again.

Urban Outfitters is a semi-fashionable store

What does "semi-fashionable" mean?

Not "high fashion". It's meant to be hip and has mock-vintage style
goods.

You need to be careful with the word "fashion" here. The term "high-fashion"
comes from the world of clothing, it cannot be used in any other context. I
think what you are trying to suggest is that the goods this store sells have
a cult following.

No, I don't; yes, it can; and under your definition anything fashionable
has a cult following.

that sells clothes,
furnishings, etc to college students in the US. I was surprised to find
a small section of the shop given over to such 'obsolete' items as
Holga
cameras, cheap turntables and high quality lps.

What's a "Holga" camera?

It's a cheap film camera that yields distorted but pleasing photos.

Must be an American thing.

Chinese.

Come to that, what is a "high quality" LP?

High priced, 180 gram, expensive packaging (gatefolds, etc).

Ah, I wondered whether you meant the content was "high quality". I assume
that these LPs are new, not classic.

New lps, mostly 'classic' titles. The quality of the lps was odd
considering the quality of the turntables on which one would presumably
play them.

There are things that have a cult following, that doesn't make them
"fashionable".

In this case, lps and turntables are part of the overall hipster,
faux-vintage style.

Like I said, a cult following.

Or, "Fashion, a general term for a currently popular style or practice,
especially in clothing, foot wear or accessories."
