I don't really want to get into it here, but even tho you can send the pix down a wire, the actual items that are in the photo, clothes, accessories etc, in a spread for a fashion mag have to be physically present in the studio (or on the location) for the photographer to snap them.
That means courier/messenger/despatch service is req. As long as people req things to be moved around, there will be other people that do it.
In my view, this means that couriers/messengers/despatch riders will be req as long as there is organised economic activity.
If you aren't making enough money, quit, change companies or start your own company. And stop bitching about what a drag it is that fixies are cool. It's boring. Or even better, use your intimate knowledge of what fixie stuff is cool, and where to get it, to start a on-line shop selling to stuff to hipsters (hello Roberto, Jos, Keirin Berlin, Berlinetta, Erik Zo etc).
