jumped the shark

Refers to a 1970's TV sitcom. It had a main character known for being the Coolest guy on TV (The Fonze). As the series entered one of its last seasons, the writers had this oh-so-cool guy waterskiing in his trademark leather jacket, to jump a shark. It was truely the moment when the series went downhill from there and was soon mercifully cancelled.

jumped the pig

the moment when a luxury or fashion brand begins an irreparable decline into mass market obscurity and irrelevance.

often precipitated by introducing a lower-level line or announcing a collaboration with a non-prestige brand.

similar to the phrase jump the shark, but goes beyond merely assessing quality & creativity of the product; cultural relevance and loss of respect by the cultural elite are important elements as well. applies exclusively to luxury brands.
the H&M capsule collection was bad enough, but when they heard about the collaboration with UGG, the fashionistas knew Jimmy Choo had jumped the pig.
