purport, gist, elegance, interest, proceed to, tend, become
趣 centers on the underlying direction or flavor that draws attention: the gist or purport of something, the elegance or interest that makes it appealing, and the sense of proceeding toward or tending to become something.
趣 combines 走 (run, move) with 取 (take, grasp). The original idea is likely moving toward something or grasping a direction, which developed into the abstract senses of purport, interest, and tendency.
The outer 走 suggests movement, and the inner 取 suggests taking or grasping. Picture running to grasp the gist of a story, or moving toward something that catches your interest with its elegance.
For シュ, imagine a shoe that elegantly points toward the gist of fashion: shoe -> シュ, and the shoe's direction shows the trend.
